She is a partner in the Minneapolis, MN, office of Fredrikson & Byron PA, a member of the Minnesota State Bar Association Legal Education Task Force, and president-elect of the Hennepin County (MN) Bar Association. Accolade: Minnesota Business Magazine called her one of “the most important people to know if you wish to conduct business in the state of Minnesota.” Reason: Her work on the Minnesota Public Benefit Corporation Act (MPBCA) from legislative draft to law.
