Janel Dressen is the first female CEO of Anthony Ostlund Louwagie Dressen & Boylan P.A., a Minneapolis boutique commercial litigation firm. She led the firm through the challenges of the COVID pandemic, helping it maintain its strong reputation while delivering on its commitment to excellence.

Post-pandemic, Dressen has been instrumental in recruiting new employees to support growth, focusing on quality over quantity. Under Dressen’s leadership, the firm proactively seizes opportunities to increase diversity and enhance mentorship of female lawyers.

While she represents business owners and businesses in all types of complex business disputes, Dressen’s specialty is shareholder, ownership and business valuation disputes. She was lead counsel for what has been reported to be the largest Minnesota trial award in a shareholder buyout case in Lund v. Lund, in which she obtained a buyout award of more than $45 million for her client, Kim Lund.

Dressen understands the challenges of being a woman litigator in the male-dominated world of business litigation. She advises female lawyers to put in the work necessary to be the most prepared lawyer in any courtroom.
