Vision
Fredrikson is known for its entrepreneurial, practical culture. We do not have a bureaucratic culture, and that comes through in our work with each other and our clients. We are inclusive, approachable, relationship-driven and invested in our clients’ successes. We use innovation, collaboration and technology to best support our work for clients. A proactive, problem-solving mindset runs throughout our service areas, from our traditional legal areas of support like litigation, real estate and intellectual property to our more consultative practices like government relations and health care consulting. It is a mindset that enables us to understand and keep client objectives firmly in mind, and to anticipate and address problems before they arise. Our lawyers blend a common sense approach with in-the-field experience, and we utilize our firm’s strong reputation and our lawyers’ broad networks of business and industry contacts to get things done for clients.
