DECIDEDLY DIFFERENT

Anthony Ostlund is one of the Midwest's largest law firms focused solely on commercial litigation.

We represent our clients, public companies, Fortune 500 companies, privately-held businesses, private equity firms and their portfolio companies, individuals, and families, as plaintiffs and defendants.

 

Our calculated and decisive trial attorneys regularly handle cases in state and federal courts and arbitration in Minnesota and throughout the United States. When you come to us, we focus first on your business problem — then we formulate a customized solution for you. Our business-minded focus and depth of experience allow us to out-think the other side, and puts us in a prime position to solve your problem.

About us

COMPLEX OR CONFUSING CASE? WE CAN HANDLE THAT.

Our attorneys successfully manage, pursue, and defend complex business disputes in the areas of employment, intellectual property, securities, fraud, and real estate — just to name a few. Our lawyers have shaped Minnesota law on shareholder rights and closely-held company disputes. We litigate, arbitrate, mediate, and advise our clients on regulatory and enforcement matters. We also provide specialized counseling when it comes to labor and employment issues and shareholder rights.

INVESTED IN YOU: OUR CLIENT

We will work hard to understand your legal concerns as well as how your business works and how your business may be impacted by litigation. In all we do, we want what is best for you — under the law and for your business.

 

We manage crises; we solve problems; and we deliver results. We measure ourselves on our successes, and we make our clients’ difficulties our own.

 

MEDIOCRITY IS NOT ACCEPTED HERE

Our motto: Always be the most prepared lawyer in the room. And we are. We prepare each case with an eye toward trial and stay abreast of the latest technological advances available to us and our clients.

EFFICIENT STAFFING = BETTER SERVICE

Most firms assign several lawyers to a case. We think that more often than not, that creates duplicative work and higher legal bills.

At our litigation firm, we staff our cases for efficacy and efficiency. Most of the time, a case is staffed with one to three lawyers, a paralegal, and a legal administrative assistant. Each team member has a unique role and responsibilities and we expect them to appreciate and understand our client’s business and legal problems.

Our approach creates a heightened sense of personal responsibility for each member of our team. We’ve found that it consistently improves efficiency and effectiveness while lowering our client’s costs.

Consistently receiving top rankings among our peers.
