EXPERIENCE THE INTENSITY
Trial Tested. Jury Approved.
In the past 10 years, the litigators at Anthony Ostlund have obtained the largest buyout order for a minority owner in Minnesota history and have successfully defended our clients against hundreds of millions of dollars in damages in claims of employment discrimination, breach of contract, attorney malpractice, and breach of fiduciary duty. We have pursued and vindicated the rights of multiple plaintiffs, some seeking millions of dollars and others seeking nothing more than justice and fair treatment under the law. We love what we do. We are proud to share it with you.

Complete dismissal of $42 million breach of fiduciary duty claim

— Dan Hall, Attorney for Trustee
“We are proud that our colleagues and friends call us to help them navigate what are often career- and reputation-threatening allegations. This case was made especially difficult because plaintiff refused to provide relevant information in discovery, misrepresented information to the court, and would not make critical witnesses available for depositions. It was rewarding to overcome the plaintiff’s attempts to manufacture hurdles and to succeed at summary judgment and on appeal in the Eighth Circuit.”
