“I realize litigation can be daunting. When it is unavoidable, I will be your voice. I will be your advocate. I will tell your story with passion and conviction. And I will be fully invested in getting you the best possible outcome.”
Pam advises clients on a variety of day-to-day employment and business disputes. Should litigation become unavoidable, she is a zealous advocate on their behalf.
Pam is an experienced litigator who has handled a full-range of employment and closely-held business dispute cases. She has successfully litigated:
Pam has litigated before state and federal agencies, in private arbitrations, in state and federal court, and before Minnesota’s Court of Appeals, Minnesota’s Workers’ Compensation Court of Appeals, and the Minnesota Supreme Court.
Pam has particular expertise—both in litigation and counseling—in handling family business disputes, non-compete disputes and business tort disputes. “Business torts” include claims arising out of confidentiality, non-compete or non-solicitation agreements, claims involving trade secrets and breach of fiduciary duty claims. Pam also has considerable experience both defending these claims and representing clients who are pursuing them.
Prior to joining Fredrikson & Byron, Pam was a law clerk for the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota, working primarily on human trafficking and child exploitation policy initiatives. She also worked for former federal prosecutor Hank Shea at the Holloran Center for Ethical Leadership in the Professions, part of the University of St. Thomas School of Law, on a unique ethics education initiative involving “lessons learned” presentations by white-collar offenders–including former lawyers, CEOs, CFOs and other executives.
