Liz Kramer has joined to Dorsey & Whitney LLP as a Partner in the Commercial Litigation group in Minneapolis, the law firm announced today.
“We are thrilled that Liz has joined Dorsey. She strengthens our Commercial Litigation capabilities with a wealth of experience and insight,” said Jaime Stilson, Practice Group Co-Leader for the Commercial Litigation Group. “Liz advises clients on complex commercial, appellate, and constitutional matters, bringing firsthand experience at the highest levels of state government.”
Liz is a nationally recognized appellate and constitutional attorney. Before joining Dorsey, Liz served as Minnesota Solicitor General for two terms, leading the state's appellate and constitutional litigation and securing several of Minnesota's landmark decisions. For example, she successfully defended health and safety executive orders during the COVID 19 pandemic. Liz also led the Minnesota Supreme Court case that resolved a constitutional crisis arising from a tied Minnesota Legislature and built and led the Rule of Law division at the Attorney General’s Office, overseeing more than 70 cases challenging federal executive overreach.
“I left the best public law office in Minnesota to join the best private law office here,” said Liz Kramer. “I was especially attracted to Dorsey because of its strong reputation, its strategic growth across the country, and the opportunity to build on its strong foundation in appellate practice. I look forward to bringing the same skills that brought success for the governor and attorney general to my new clients.”
Before entering public service, Liz represented clients in commercial litigation and construction disputes. She also gained deep experience in arbitration law while at a Minneapolis law firm for 15 years.
Liz received her J.D. from Yale Law School and her B.A. from Mount Holyoke College.
