Editor's Review
VerifiedLawFirms editorial
Focus and practice areas
Felhaber Larson runs a multi-practice civil operation out of downtown Minneapolis. The firm's own site lists real estate, health law, business law, construction, employment, labor, litigation and disputes, estate planning and administration, energy, and workers' compensation. That is a wide spread for a single-office firm.
The practice filters on the site go a level deeper. They name bankruptcy and creditor remedies, business and commercial litigation, class action defense, employment contracts, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, insurance disputes, regulatory compliance and estate disputes. Those are the subcategories a firm publishes when it has people doing that specific work.
Two threads carry the most weight in how the site presents itself: civil litigation and health care law. Both show up in the top-level menu and again in the filters.
What civil litigation means here
Civil litigation at this breadth covers commercial disputes between businesses, insurance coverage fights, class action defense and estate contests. In general terms, a commercial case moves through pleadings, then discovery, then motions, and only a small share reach trial. Discovery is where most of the hours go: document production, interrogatories, depositions of the people who signed or negotiated the deal.
Class action defense sits on a different track. The early fight is usually over certification, meaning whether the court will let one named plaintiff represent a whole group. That decision often settles the practical outcome of the case before the merits get much attention.
Health law and regulatory work
Health law spans provider contracting, licensing questions, reimbursement disputes and compliance with state and federal rules. Minnesota providers answer to the state Department of Health and, for federal program work, to CMS and the Office of Inspector General. Compliance work in this field tends to be preventive: policy review, audits, self-disclosure decisions. Litigation comes later, if at all.
How the team is built
The people page lists 43 lawyers. Kevin V. Heinz and Thomas M. Hughes, Ltd. are identified as Of Counsel. In my opinion, 43 attorneys is the size where a firm can staff real subject-matter depth across ten practice areas without becoming a place where nobody knows who is handling what.
Named attorneys on the roster include Zachary A. Alter, Brian T. Benkstein, Scott D. Blake, Christopher W. Boline, Grant T. Collins, Marina L. Cruz, Kali P. Dahlquist, Alexandra E. Diwik, Thomas J. Doyle, Daniel "Witt" Fram, Janell M. Gabor and Ashley R. Geisendorfer. The roster runs longer than that on the site itself.
Of Counsel is a designation with real meaning in firm structure. It usually marks a lawyer with an ongoing relationship to the firm who works outside the partner track, often a senior practitioner who has stepped back from full-time management while keeping active matters. Two such designations on a 43-lawyer roster is a modest proportion.
Who the firm represents
Felhaber Larson's about page describes a client mix of corporations, small businesses, start-up operations and individuals. The site says the client list includes Fortune 500 corporations. That range matters for anyone deciding whether to call.
A firm that handles both a Fortune 500 employment matter and a start-up's formation documents has to operate at two different scales. Large corporate clients bring volume work, regulatory exposure and in-house counsel who set the terms. Start-ups bring formation questions, equity structure and founder agreements. Individuals bring estate planning and workers' compensation claims.
The employment and labor practice is where those scales meet most often. Employers face wage and hour claims, discrimination charges filed with the EEOC or the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, non-compete disputes and union matters before the NLRB. Each has its own timeline and its own decision-maker.
What the record shows
The firm says it has operated since 1943, which the site describes as an 80-year history. That date puts its founding in the middle of the Second World War, before most of the regulatory bodies its lawyers now appear before existed.
Longevity by itself proves nothing about the quality of any individual matter. What it does indicate is institutional continuity: a firm that has kept a Minneapolis practice going through eight decades has survived multiple generations of partners and several complete turnovers in the law it practices. As a reviewer, I read that as a signal about the firm's stability rather than about any particular outcome.
The practice areas the firm lists track that history in a readable way. Real estate, construction, business law and estate planning are the durable civil practices of a regional commercial firm. Health law, regulatory compliance and intellectual property are later additions that reflect where Minnesota's economy went.
Workers' compensation and estate work
Workers' compensation in Minnesota runs through an administrative system, apart from the district courts. Claims go to the Department of Labor and Industry first. Contested matters move to the Office of Administrative Hearings, where a compensation judge decides them, and appeals go to the Workers' Compensation Court of Appeals. The medical records and the treating physician's opinion usually carry the case.
Estate planning and administration covers wills, trusts, powers of attorney and health care directives on the planning side. Administration is the work after a death: probate filings, inventory, creditor notice, distribution. Estate disputes, which the firm also lists, arise when a beneficiary challenges a will's validity or a trustee's conduct.
These two areas are the ones on the firm's list that individuals reach for directly. The rest of the roster points toward business clients.
Where to find the firm
Felhaber Larson keeps a single downtown Minneapolis office in the US Bank Plaza building. The firm's structured data includes Facebook and LinkedIn profiles. Its website is felhaber.com.
Individual attorney biographies, law schools and admission years are not published in the site's structured data, so anyone comparing lawyers on credentials will want to ask directly. The practice area pages carry more detail than the roster listing does.
For a Minnesota business needing counsel across several legal areas at once, the value of a firm this size is coordination: the employment question and the real estate question go to the same building. The firm has been answering both since 1943.
