He also has significant litigation experience in fire/explosion cases. Cooper's courtroom experience is extensive, including first-chair jury and bench trials in state and federal courts, appellate arguments before the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (en banc), the Minnesota Supreme Court and the Minnesota Court of Appeals, binding arbitrations, successful mediations in well over one hundred cases, and all manner of related fact and expert discovery and motion practice. Cooper has appeared in court on behalf of clients in multiple jurisdictions across the country.
Doug Holod is a business lawyer with over 16 years of business law experience and four years of business experience. Doug also served as chair of Maslon's Business and Securities Group from 2001 to 2007. Doug advises companies, from emerging through mature, on corporate, general business and strategic matters. He frequently assists emerging business in corporate structuring, raising capital, general counseling and in transactions such as acquisitions and sales. For more mature businesses, Doug frequently plays an active role in capital transactions such as private or public offerings or transactions such as mergers and acquisitions or MBOs. His vast experience and keen insight has made him a valued and trusted business and legal adviser to many businesses.
