About Gislason

Gislason & Hunter is a law firm dedicated to meeting the needs of various corporations, partnerships, other entities, and individuals in the Midwest.

We are mid-sized, with the capabilities of a large firm and the sensibilities of a small one. We handle complex cases worth hundreds of millions of dollars, simple disputes between neighbors, and everything in between. We are equally comfortable arguing a hotly contested case in front of a jury, mediating a settlement, negotiating and drafting complex transactional documents, or making personal decisions with a client over a cup of coffee.

With offices in New Ulm, Mankato, Minneapolis, and Mapleton, Minnesota and Des Moines, Iowa, we are at home in both rural and metropolitan areas. Most of our attorneys were born and raised in the Midwest; all are deeply committed to the communities where they live and work.

We have built a thriving practice by achieving client's goals, with expertise, integrity, and a healthy measure of common sense. It's the way we work, and the way our clients want things done. Above all, it's the way to get results. And that's why we're here.

History of the Firm

The Early Years
In 1937, Sidney P. Gislason opened his law practice in the beautiful city of New Ulm with one purpose in mind--to provide the very highest quality legal services to the people of New Ulm and the surrounding area. Building on this foundation of dedication to excellence, Gislason & Hunter LLP has steadily expanded its offices and legal staff to meet the growing and diverse needs of its clients. From modest beginnings in a second floor office, the firm has grown in size and stature to become one of the largest firms in the state of Minnesota.

The Modern Era
Gislason & Hunter LLP is now the largest outstate law firm in Minnesota with offices in New Ulm, Mankato, Minneapolis, and Mapleton. The firm consists of over 40 attorneys and a support staff of over 50. Gislason & Hunter LLP is rated "A-V," the highest rating available to a law firm, by Martindale-Hubbell.

As the firm has grown, so has the scope of its law practice. Gislason & Hunter LLP now has become a regional law firm representing clients throughout the Midwest and Northern Plains States. The Gislason & Hunter family of attorneys, paralegals, legal secretaries, and data processing personnel work as a team to provide the very best results for our clients. Gislason & Hunter LLP has earned the reputation for being one of the finest civil litigation and corporate transaction law firms in the Upper Midwest.

In order to continue this tradition of excellence, our lawyers understand that it is important to stay abreast of rapidly changing legal trends through continuing legal education,
state-of-the-art computerized legal support, and advanced communication technologies.
