Speaker Bio:
Pamela is an experienced litigator, trial attorney and external investigator who handles a full range of shareholder, partnership, non-compete, sexual misconduct and employment disputes. She has successfully litigated before state and federal agencies, in private arbitrations, in state and federal courts, and before appellate courts around the country. Pamela is licensed in Minnesota, but has represented companies in complex litigation in Florida, Illinois, Texas, Michigan, California, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and numerous other states. Pamela is frequently called on to handle disputes that are complex, highly contentious, or likely to go to trial. She has obtained multi-million-dollar verdicts and awards on the plaintiff side (representing companies and individual minority shareholders), and she has obtained complete defense verdicts on the defense side. Pamela is also sought after for complex and sensitive employment and school investigations, particularly those involving allegations of sexual misconduct, which must be handled with the utmost care and professionalism.

While Pamela handles a wide range of disputes, she has particular expertise—both in litigation and counseling—in closely held business disputes, non-compete disputes, and business tort cases.

Pamela’s approach to litigation and dispute resolution is creative, strategic, and persistent. She is a fierce advocate for her clients. With respect to investigations, Pamela’s approach is pragmatic and neutral, with high regard for the integrity of the investigation process. Every investigation is handled with the utmost care and attention to detail – with the hope of avoiding litigation. When avoiding litigation is not possible, Pamela’s investigative work often provides the basis for a strong defense for companies who follow her guidance and adopt her findings.
