Litigation: General Commercial

About

Provided by Dorsey & Whitney LLP

• Trial Lawyers. Dorsey is known as a litigation powerhouse in Minnesota. Unlike many of Dorsey’s competitors, our litigators mainly practice in federal courts, most often for Fortune 500 companies in high stakes cases. But we are not only litigators, we are trial lawyers. 
• Shareholder derivative litigation. Dorsey handles the biggest and most notable shareholder derivative lawsuits in Minnesota. Whether the case arises out of a planned M&A transaction (e.g., we represent St. Jude Medical in its acquisition by Abbott Labs) or allegations of fraud or fiduciary breaches (Medtronic Infuse lawsuit ), our lawyers are often called upon to help large public companies deal with disputes with shareholders. With over 15 of the Fortune 500 based in Minnesota, this particular part of our practice is a robust one. 
• Healthcare. Our group is particularly known for our work in the health care industry.   
• Appellate work. Dorsey’s Minnesota trial group is also known for its appellate work around the country.  Dorsey’s litigators are also often hired to handle appeals after other firms lose at trial. 
• Banking. Finally, we are known for our exceptional results in financial services and banking litigation. Our clients like U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, Ameriprise Financial, and Thrivent Financial rely on our group for disputes of all types.
