Law Firm Overview

Fredrikson & Byron is a 170-attorney law firm based in Minneapolis. It has an office in London and affiliates in Mexico City, Warsaw, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. The firm's primary areas of practice include banking, corporate, employment, healthcare, intellectual property, international, litigation, real estate, securities, and tax. We serve a broad range of clients, including multinational corporations, public companies, privately-held businesses, entrepreneurs, government agencies, and family businesses. Fredrikson & Byron's attorneys also work with individuals on estate planning, family law, and immigration matters.

Walter J. Wheeler founded the firm in 1948. He was joined by Harold Fredrikson in 1953 and John Byron two years later. Fredrikson & Byron grew steadily, and merged with Wright, West & Diessner in 1984. Today it is one of the Upper Midwest's largest business and trial law firms.

As the business landscape has evolved, Fredrikson & Byron has expanded to offer more than legal counsel. Its attorneys often function as business advisors and strategic partners, and the firm has built a reputation as a place where "law and business meet" by bringing business acumen and entrepreneurial thinking into its advice to clients. It has developed ancillary services through Fredrikson Healthcare Consulting, Ltd., and Fredrikson Human Resources Consulting, Ltd., who provide specific non-legal business insights that are vital to the clients' growth and long-term goals.

The firm offers an annual scholarship to minority law students, and regularly provides pro bono and community services to a wide variety of people, organizations and projects. It was one of the first law firms in the nation to subscribe to the American Bar Association's Law Firm Challenge, which asks large law firms to contribute at least three percent of their total billable hours each year to work for the public good. Its employees actively support!programs that benefit disadvantaged individuals, and regularly volunteer at schools and charitable organizations throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
