Minnesota Lawyer announces inaugural Icons class

Finance & Commerce and Minnesota Lawyer are paying tribute to the titans of the boardroom and the courtroom, with the inaugural Icons event in early December.

These honorees are leaders in their fields and have been active in their communities and in mentoring the next generation.

“We have two events, Up & Coming Attorneys and Rising Young Professionals, which recognize achieving success early in one’s career and their future potential,” said Minnesota Lawyer President and Publisher Bill Gaier. “It’s time we recognize those that have proven success over a more significant career. We felt this group represented their industry and specialty well. Thanks to those who thought so highly of these individuals to submit such descriptive nominations.”

A panel of judges with legal and business expertise selected this inaugural class of 21 honorees from across the Minnesota business and legal communities. The honorees will be feted at a Dec. 6 celebration and networking event from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Hyatt in downtown Minneapolis.
