Firm attorneys in Minneapolis have practiced primarily in the area of products liability defense, although they also regularly handle other types of cases, including premises liability, breach of warranty, breach of contract, and other general commercial litigation. They regularly represent some of the world’s foremost medical device, consumer product, industrial, and automotive manufacturers, and they have tried numerous cases to defense verdicts on behalf of their clients. You will be joining a highly skilled team of attorneys who have substantial courtroom experience at the state and federal levels.

All candidates are asked to submit a cover letter, resume, and a copy of your law school transcript.

You’re prepared to draft and argue discovery and other motions, take and defend depositions, manage document productions, and bring an entrepreneurial spirit to a growing office. You possess exceptional oral and written advocacy skills with strong academic credentials. You are adept in case management, ready to take the lead, and are admitted to and in good standing with the Minnesota Bar. Will consider applicants with admission to other state bars who have a willingness to become a member of the Minnesota bar.
