Anne Lockner has been solving business problems for almost 25 years using a mix of various legal tools including litigation, mediation, trial, counseling, negotiating, and diplomacy. An Irish family friend used to say, "You can accomplish far more with a kind word and a shillelagh than with a kind word alone." And Anne brings this philosophy to her practice. While she would prefer to negotiate a successful business resolution to any dispute, her trial experience provides her clients with additional leverage in negotiations and she is ready for a courtroom battle if "a kind word alone" doesn't cut it.Her experience is primarily in complex litigation matters involving a broad array of business disputes including breach of contract, fiduciary duty and minority-shareholder disputes, fraud, trade-secret, defamation, unfair competition, deceptive advertising, antitrust, class-action defense, cyber-security and privacy, consumer fraud claims, and government and internal investigations. She has worked in various industries including med-tech, fin-tech, retail, manufacturing, franchise, financial services, healthcare, food and beverage, insurance, and logistics. She also works with high net-worth individuals, family offices, and professional fiduciary firms in various wealth disputes.Many of her cases involve unique legal issues that are not easily susceptible to a soundbite. Despite the varying types of cases she handled, Anne finds exercising excellent judgment, thinking creatively, and deftly communicating with people are the keys to successfully resolving any dispute. She was once told that she has a velvet glove in one hand and brass knuckles in the other and that she knows when to use one over the other.When she is not practicing law, Anne enjoys reading, exploring the Twin Cities with her family, traveling, and seeing live music and theater. Anne's volunteer work centers primarily around non-profit board service where she often serves in leadership positions including The Children's Theater Company, The Fund for Legal Aid, The Advocates for Human Rights, and the Basilica Landmark.
