Super Lawyers magazine recognized 37 Fredrikson & Byron attorneys as 2014 Minnesota Super Lawyers and 13 attorneys as Minnesota Rising Stars.
Attorneys James L. Baillie, Clinton E. Cutler and John M. Koneck were named in the list of Top 100 Minnesota Super Lawyers. Attorneys Dulce Foster and Karen Schanfield were included on the list of Minnesota’s Top 50 Women Attorneys.
Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections are made using a rigorous multi-phased process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by practice area. Only the top 5 percent of attorneys in Minnesota are included in the annual Super Lawyers list. A full list of honorees can be found at www.superlawyers.com.
Rising Star candidates must go through the same selection process as Super Lawyers, but need to be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less. Less than 3 percent of attorneys in Minnesota are named to the Rising Stars list.
