With offices in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Briggs and Morgan has more than 180 attorneys committed to providing superior client service and sound legal counsel to clients nationwide. The firm offers a broad range of legal services and diversified backgrounds to Fortune 500 corporations, business start-ups, commercial enterprises, nonprofit and charitable institutions, utilities, public bodies, and individuals. Slightly more than half of Briggs' attorneys concentrate their practices in various aspects of litigation and other forms of dispute resolution, while the remainder focus on commercial and transactional law.
Recently, Briggs assembled a multi-disciplinary Market Crisis Response Team to serve the demands of financial institutions, brokerage firms, corporate directors and officers, public accounting firms, municipalities, public institutions, title companies, publicly traded companies, and other businesses feeling the effects of the turbulent capital markets. Attorneys from multiple practice areas come together to analyze, advise and help clients establish action plans and respond effectively to complex issues and business concerns.
