If you got past the title of this article you are likely a non-resident attorney looking to associate with Minnesota counsel because your client has been sued by, or is planning to sue an individual, business, or governmental unit in a Minnesota state or federal court. Keep reading because our experienced and highly regarded litigation team at Henson Efron has you covered.
Every case is unique and every attorney in need of local counsel looks for different things. But more often than not the must-have list can usually be distilled down to competence, reliability, responsiveness, and value. We deliver on all four.
Proven Competence and Experience
Over several decades we have earned our reputation for competence, and from the top down and across the board our litigators have been consistently recognized by their peers as being among the best, including repeated selections as Attorneys of the Year®, The Best Lawyers in America®, America’s Top 100®, Top Lawyers in Minnesota®, Super Lawyers®, and Rising Stars®.
Reliable Track Record
There are no similar awards given for reliability, but we can say that clients and their out-of-state lawyers have for decades hired us to represent them in all manner of business, commercial, employment, products, construction, intellectual property, and other civil litigation. In big cases and small, we have consistently achieved successful and positive outcomes and our clients and associated counsel have been happy with the results.
Responsive and Flexible
But our ability to deliver high-quality legal services would mean nothing if we couldn’t quickly and efficiently respond to our associated counsel’s needs and directives. Fortunately, we are built to do just that, because as a relatively small firm—about 30 or so active lawyers—we are not bogged down by internal bureaucracy and conflicts and our team approach allows us the flexibility to staff cases as necessary to meet any need.
Exceptional Value
Let’s face it, litigation is expensive. But we can help you make it less expensive for your client than it may otherwise need be, because as Minnesota attorneys we start with midwestern rates, and our firm’s size, compensation structure, and reduced overhead allow us to charge less than our larger rivals. Our reasonable hourly rates, combined with our high quality work, is where we are able to provide real value. And because we are not a national law firm with offices in multiple states, you don’t have to worry about us poaching your firm’s client when the specific matter for which we have been retained is concluded.
If you have read this far you likely have a case in Minnesota for which you need local counsel. If so, please get in touch with any of us to talk about how we can assist and why we may be the right fit.
