The Firm
This team fields about 38 lawyers with a focus on litigation. They typically represent plaintiffs and defendants in disputes concerning the ownership of businesses, securities fraud and contractual disagreements. The team is focusing on high-stakes litigation in complex areas like antitrust, IP and trade secrets. The appellate practice also has a superb profile in the Minnesota and Eighth Circuit Courts. Other areas of expertise include stockholder litigation (where the team has been particularly busy in the past year), real estate and construction, insurance and products liability. It also offers niche expertise in defending parties involved in large fires and explosions.
