Overview
Faegre Drinker is one of the largest law firms in the state of Minnesota and embodies the values and character of a firm whose history is rooted in the work ethic of the Midwest. Our nearly 300 Minneapolis attorneys are focused on finding innovative ways to help clients solve complex legal issues and meet their business goals and objectives. Representing several distinct practice areas, professionals in the Minneapolis office are well equipped to meet the legal needs for a wide variety of clients.
Attorneys focused on the food and agribusiness sector bring market-leading experience through complex litigation involving agribusiness, biotechnology, crop and seed protection, toxic torts, and class actions. We also have experience on a range of regulatory compliance matters. Our corporate team represents buyers and sellers in significant mergers and acquisitions including domestic and cross-border deals, and our intellectual property and business litigation practices are among the largest in Minnesota.
Living and Working in Minneapolis
Minneapolis along with its "Twin City," Saint Paul, is considered by residents as the capital for the arts of the Upper Midwest. The city has a host of cultural organizations and events that draw creative people and audiences for theater, visual art, writing, and music. Although Minneapolis greets you with a modern skyline, it provides beautiful landscape scenes for nature-lovers with an abundance of lakes, rivers, and wetlands connected by parkways. It is common for residents to own or share cabins and other properties along lakes and forested areas for weekend trips "up North" in the warmer months. Ice fishing is a major pastime in the winter along with other outdoor activities such as hunting, snowmobiling, and ATV-riding.
