Super Lawyers Magazine recognized 36 Fredrikson attorneys as 2015 Minnesota Super Lawyers and 15 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. Attorney Kristy A.K. Rodd was included in 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 selection process includes independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations. Only the top 5 percent of attorneys in Minnesota are included in the annual Super Lawyers list.
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.
