Overview

Content is provided by the firm.
Meagher + Geer was founded in Minneapolis in 1929. Our approach, knowledge and winning ways have established our reputation as one of the preeminent litigation firms in the Midwest.

We have adopted a client service philosophy that emphasizes communication. Understanding the client's goals is of paramount importance. Providing information about the risks of litigation, including exposure and cost, is a key part of our representation.

Based on years of experience and successful results, Meagher + Geer's practice areas include insurance coverage and bad faith, commercial litigation and related business services, catastrophic loss investigation and litigation, employment law, professional liability defense, mass tort/products liability defense, appellate law and alternative dispute resolution. These practice areas have enabled us to extend our reach beyond the Midwest and establish a national presence and reputation.

In 1999, we opened our second office in Phoenix, Arizona, a move that improved client service. In 2015, we opened our office in Bismarck, North Dakota followed by opening our Chicago, Illinois office in 2017. In 2021, we opened our fifth location in Los Angeles, California. In 2022, we opened our sixth office location in Dallas, Texas.
