Fredrikson and Jeremy Greenhouse Honored by Volunteer Lawyers Network

Volunteer Lawyers Network (VLN) has selected Fredrikson as their 2026 Housing Law Firm of the Year for the second straight year, a recognition that underscores the firm’s ongoing commitment to providing outstanding legal support in housing matters. In addition, Fredrikson shareholder Jeremy P. Greenhouse was named VLN’s 2026 Housing Volunteer of the Year.

“This recognition is a testament to the hard work and strong advocacy our team brings to every case, making a meaningful difference for those in need,” said Katy Drahos, Fredrikson Pro Bono & Community Service Director. “We are also thrilled to see Jeremy recognized not only for his consistency, but also for his compassionate approach to his work with his many clients.”

Greenhouse advises clients regarding regulatory compliance, permitting, enforcement, rulemaking and litigation matters involving all major federal environmental laws as well as those of Minnesota and other states. He has represented businesses in the mining, manufacturing, agricultural, biofuel and energy industries. Greenhouse regularly helps achieve client goals with state and federal regulatory agencies, including the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and he has argued high-profile environmental law cases before Minnesota trial and appellate courts, including the Minnesota Supreme Court, as well as in federal court.

Established in 1966, VLN is a 501(c)3 non-profit which provides civil legal services to low-income people through volunteer attorneys. VLN’s mission is to protect and promote the basic human needs of people in poverty through the power of legal volunteers.
