Overview

Anthony Ostlund is one of the Midwest’s largest law firms dedicated exclusively to business litigation. We represent public companies, Fortune 500 companies, privately held businesses, private equity firms and their portfolio companies, as well as individuals and families, in lawsuits and arbitration proceedings across the United States.

Our trial attorneys handle matters in state and federal courts in Minnesota and throughout the country. We begin by understanding the business issues involved and then develop a strategy tailored to each client’s goals. Our approach combines litigation experience with practical business insight to help clients address complex disputes efficiently and effectively.

We represent clients in a wide range of business disputes, including matters involving employment, intellectual property, securities, fraud, and real estate. Our attorneys have handled cases involving shareholder rights and closely held company disputes, and we represent clients in litigation, arbitration, mediation, regulatory matters, and enforcement proceedings. We also advise businesses and individuals on labor and employment matters and shareholder-related issues.

Preparation is central to our approach. We develop each case with trial in mind and make use of current technology and litigation tools to support our clients’ objectives throughout every stage of a dispute.
