The four Lund siblings family inherited the family-owned business from their grandfather and father. Each of them had different ideas of what should be done with their family wealth. With a long and tortured history of family shareholder discord... Read Case Result “THE LUNDS CASE WAS COMPLEX AND HARD-FOUGHT ALL THE WAY TO THE MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT. THE COURT DECISIONS IN THIS CASE ARE IMPORTANT NOT JUST FOR OUR CLIENT WHO WAS RESOLUTE IN ENFORCING HER RIGHTS, BUT FOR ALL MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS IN MINNESOTA CLOSELY-HELD BUSINESSES WHO ARE TREATED UNFAIRLY.” – JANEL DRESSEN COMPLETE DISMISSAL OF $42 MILLION BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY CLAIM Anthony Ostlund’s client, the trustee of an irrevocable trust, was sued by beneficiaries alleging that he breached fiduciary duties causing more than $42 million in damages. In addition to millions of dollars, the plaintiffs sought control of family businesses that were valued at more than $300 million.

Read Case Result “WE ARE PROUD THAT OUR COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS CALL US TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE WHAT ARE OFTEN CAREER- AND REPUTATION-THREATENING ALLEGATIONS. THIS CASE WAS MADE ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT BECAUSE PLAINTIFF REFUSED TO PROVIDE RELEVANT INFORMATION IN DISCOVERY, MISREPRESENTED INFORMATION TO THE COURT, AND WOULD NOT MAKE CRITICAL WITNESSES AVAILABLE FOR DEPOSITIONS. IT WAS REWARDING TO OVERCOME THE PLAINTIFF’S ATTEMPTS TO MANUFACTURE HURDLES AND TO SUCCEED AT SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND ON APPEAL IN THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT.” — BROOKE D. ANTHONY PERSISTENT FIGHT TO RECOVER MORE THAN $1M FOR BUSINESS OWNER. Anthony Ostlund’s client, Tony Flattum, entered into an oral promise to share the profits of a new storm restoration business. After several successful years, the defendants fired Flattum and refused to pay Flattum his share of the profits. Read Case Result “OVERCOMING OBSTACLES IS FUN. AND THE DEFENDANT TRIED TO PUT UP MANY OBSTACLES IN THIS CASE. HE PROBABLY THOUGHT HE’D GET AWAY WITH IT. THAT WAS A MISTAKE. THE DEFENDANT DID NOT RECOGNIZE OUR TEAM’S ABSOLUTE DETERMINATION TO GET JUSTICE FOR OUR CLIENT.” — ARTHUR G.

The siblings excluded them from key... Read Case Result “I AM THRILLED THAT WE WERE ABLE TO OVERWHELMINGLY DEMONSTRATE TO THE COURT, ON MOTION, THE OPPRESSIVE TREATMENT OF RICH AND YVONNE BY THEIR BUSINESS PARTNERS/SIBLINGS. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO ENDURE THAT KIND OF TREATMENT, BUT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS YOUR BUSINESS PARTNER. WITHOUT QUESTION, A BUSINESS DIVORCE WAS NEEDED IN THIS CASE, AND FORTUNATELY, MINNESOTA LAW FULLY SUPPORTS THE REMEDIES REQUESTED AND THE SUMMARY JUDGMENT RELIEF GRANTED BY JUDGE GILLIGAN. BUSINESS OWNERS SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THIS CASE AND ITS APPLICATION TO ALL MINNESOTA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY OWNERS.” – JANEL DRESSEN, ATTORNEY FOR RICHARD SCHREIER, YVONNE CLINTSMAN AND RELATED ENTITIES ANTHONY OSTLUND WINS SUMMARY JUDGMENT REQUIRING AN OPERATING CHAIN RESTAURANT TO PAY RENT DURING COVID-19 Our client, 1800 Baxter, owns property in Roseville, Minnesota that it leases to Portillo’s, a Chicago-based chain restaurant. In June 2020, Portillo’s stopped paying rent – in violation of multiple agreements and despite being open for drive-through and takeout business throughout the pandemic. Read Case Result “PORTILLO’S HAD NO GOOD REASON TO STOP PAYING RENT FOR ITS ROSEVILLE LOCATION. THE RESTAURANT WAS NEVER CLOSED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, AND PORTILLO’S EXPRESSLY AGREED TO KEEP PAYING RENT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BUSINESS. CONVINCING THE COURT TO ORDER PORTILLO’S TO PAY FULL RENT WAS A BIG WIN.” — PHIL KAPLAN, ATTORNEY FOR 1800 BAXTER (LANDLORD) COURT AWARDS COMMERCIAL LANDLORD OVER $1 MILLION Our client, Cedar Point, owns the Cedar Point Shopping Center in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Read Case Result “FOR MONTHS BEFORE THE LAWSUIT STARTED, PEI WEI HAD BEEN PLAYING GAMES TO TRY TO CONVINCE CEDAR POINT TO FORFEIT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN FUTURE LEASE PAYMENTS. THE GAMESMANSHIP WENT TOO FAR WHEN PEI WEI STOPPED PAYING RENT, FORCING CEDAR POINT TO START A LAWSUIT. WE FOUGHT HARD FOR CEDAR POINT AND WE SUCCESSFULLY RECOVERED ALL OF THE MONEY IT WAS ENTITLED TO.” – PHIL KAPLAN, ATTORNEY FOR CEDAR POINT DISMISSAL OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST DIRECTORS Two former directors of Geospan Corporation, William Bruggeman and Phyllis Harding, had been sued by a minority shareholder of Geospan Corporation for breach of fiduciary duty and unfair prejudice.

WE WERE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DIRECT AND MANAGE AN ALLEGED $100 MILLION PLUS COMPLEX, MULTI-MILLION DOCUMENT CASE MORE EFFICIENTLY AND MORE SUCCESSFULLY THAN THE LARGE, NATIONAL FIRM WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY RETAINED FOR OVER A YEAR TO DEFEND THIS CASE.
