Best Lawyers® today released its 2024 edition of Best Lawyers in America and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch.  This new edition recognizes six Forsgren Fisher partners:

• Andy DeMarea, for Commercial Litigation;
• Caitlinrose Fisher (Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch), for Appellate Practice, Commercial Litigation, and Criminal Defense:  White Collar;
• Matt Forsgren, for Criminal Defense:  White Collar;
• Bob Gilbertson, for Commercial Litigation, Insurance Law, and Litigation – Intellectual Property;
• Virginia McCalmont (Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch), for Commercial Litigation; and
• David Wallace-Jackson, for Litigation – Intellectual Property

“Our litigation practice lines up every day against those of firms a hundred or even a thousand times our size,” said Bob Gilbertson, the firm’s managing partner.  “We are a potent force because we operate as a true team and take full advantage of each other’s strengths,” he added.

Matt Forsgren has again received the prestigious Lawyer of the Year designation for Criminal Defense:  White-Collar in Minneapolis.  This award is particularly impressive, as it is presented to a single lawyer in each practice area and geographic region each edition.  “To anyone who has worked with Matt, it makes perfect sense that he would receive this sort of recognition a second time,” said Gilbertson.  “People tend to find their way to him when they’re facing the highest stakes, whether it’s a criminal matter or civil litigation.”

“Of course, individual awards and recognition are nice,” Forsgren commented, “but we do everything as a team.  I couldn’t be prouder to practice with the group we have assembled, including every single person who works with our firm.”
