Each year Minnesota Lawyer recognizes a group of new attorneys off to a fast start in their legal careers and the legal professionals who work to make sure the job gets done.
We are pleased to announce the 2020 Up & Coming Attorneys and Unsung Legal Heroes.
All of the Up & Coming Attorney honorees are in their first decade of practice.
Unsung Legal Heroes come from seven categories: legal administrative assistant, paralegal or judicial clerk, administrator or office manager, librarian, accounting staff, information technology and marketing.
Congratulations to the 2020 Up & Coming Attorneys and Unsung Legal Heroes.
