Great Results: 100 Years and Counting

Moss & Barnett is a multidisciplinary, client-centered law firm that gets results through team-based custom counsel. Since our founding in the Twin Cities over one hundred years ago, we have grown into a leading firm that offers business and private clients forward-thinking strategies in Minnesota and beyond.

With strong regional and national practices in accountant law, business, corporate and financial services, construction law, energy and public utilities law, and intellectual property rights, we concentrate on helping businesses navigate the challenges of rapidly changing markets. We are particularly focused on multifamily and commercial real estate finance transactions throughout the United States.

As Moss & Barnett has grown into a nationally recognized firm, we have honored our roots by maintaining a strong commitment to the local community. We are proud that generations of individuals and families have trusted us to help them realize their goals for wealth preservation and business succession, which we achieve by developing unique strategies based on each client’s goals, challenges, and circumstances. Our family law team has earned national honors for its sensitivity, excellence, and effectiveness.

At Moss & Barnett, our sense of community extends far beyond the office. Our lawyers provide hundreds of hours of pro bono work to organizations serving the community while also leading and participating in varied charitable organizations. Because our active involvement keeps us current and helps us position our clients, we know community service is a source of our strength.

Uniting the diverse work we do is one foundational principle that shapes the culture of Moss & Barnett: We listen closely to our clients and develop legal strategies that reflect the value they seek. That is why our firm’s added value is always the client’s value.
