Leanne Litfin Selected for Minnesota Chamber of Commerce Leadership Minnesota Program

Maslon is pleased to announce that Leanne Litfin, an attorney in the Labor & Employment Group, has been selected for the 2026-2027 Leadership Minnesota Program of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. Leadership Minnesota is an exclusive program in which participants get a behind-the-scenes look at what makes our state’s economy tick and learn how public policy crafted at the Capitol impacts the vitality of Minnesota companies.

“As an attorney who speaks daily with employers, I have heard a great deal about the challenges of sustaining a successful business in Minnesota,” Leanne said. “I relish the opportunity to broaden my experience with different sectors of employers and to hear from them directly about both their pain points and the ways in which they have adapted.”

Leanne leverages more than three decades of legal experience to counsel clients in labor law, including labor standards, wage and hour law, data practices, discrimination claims, employment contract disputes, compliance issues, and employee discipline.

Leanne joined Maslon after a long career in public service, working for a decade as general counsel for the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI). Among her many responsibilities, she handled regulatory enforcement and prepared contracts, interagency agreements, and legislation associated with labor and industry-related chapters. She also reviewed and advised on data practices requests and conducted trainings on prevailing wage, wage and hour, child labor, WESA, construction misclass, and apprenticeship.
