Midwest Real Estate News Again Ranks Fredrikson & Byron As
One of the Top Regional Real Estate Law Firms, and No. 1 in Minnesota
Minneapolis, MN June 29, 2010 – – Fredrikson & Byron’s Real Estate Practice Group was named as a top law firm in the Midwest Real Estate News ‘Best of the Best 2010’ ranking. Fredrikson was ranked eighth overall, and highest in Minnesota, based on the number of transactions in 12 Midwestern states. Rankings were based on the total number of real estate transactions completed in 2009 with a dollar amount in three categories: up to $5 million, $5 to $14 million, and at or above $15 million.
“Our firm has received the highest ranking of any Minnesota law firm for two years in a row,” says Real Estate Practice Group Chair Mary Ranum. “We’re proud of this ranking because we recognize we could not do this volume of work without the confidence our clients continually place in us.” During the past 60 years, Fredrikson’s real estate group has negotiated and closed hundreds of purchase, sale, lease, development, finance, and construction deals in virtually all market segments. These deals include everything from industrial parks and office buildings to shopping centers, housing developments, and mixed-use projects.
