Practice Areas

Maslon's appellate lawyers have earned a place among the leading Minnesota and Eighth Circuit practitioners. We are “go-to” lawyers for difficult, challenging appeals in the Minnesota appellate courts, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and other appellate courts around the country, including the U. S. Supreme Court. We have been ranked in the top 10 by Chambers & Partners USA Directory of the best law firms in Minnesota for litigation and Maslon attorney David Herr is the only Minnesota lawyer ranked as a leader in appellate law. Our experience extends to all aspects of appellate practice, whether it be briefing and arguing an appeal, or acting in a supporting role either in the appeals court or, more and more frequently, in the trial court where many appeals are ultimately won or lost.

Because of our wide range of experience and depth of expertise on appellate matters, lawyers and clients in Minnesota and beyond look to us to preserve their trial-court victories, or to persuade the appeals court of the trial court's error. Whether the task involves taking over a case on appeal or assisting in opposing discretionary review by the Minnesota or U. S. Supreme Court, Maslon's Appellate Practice Team brings experience to bear on each appellate case that it handles.
