The annual summer alliance celebration hosted by Twin Cities Diversity in Practice (TCDIP) and Wanton Injustice Legal Detail (WILD) drew a homerun turnout last week. This celebration is open to the entire legal community in the Twin Cities each year and brings together TCDIP 1L Clerks, law students, summer associates, attorneys, members of the judiciary, and everyone dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This year, the event was held at CHS Field and included baseball-themed networking opportunities. Attendees also had the opportunity to meet affinity bar leaders and learn about their work within our legal community.
In attendance from LGN were Kate Baxter-Kauf, Toni Konkoly, and Steve Owen (pictured) along with summer law clerk Jems Guirguis. LGN attorneys actively support TCDIP throughout the year, including Arielle Wagner, who sits on the Board of Directors as the Assistant Treasurer, and Steve Owen who is LGN’s Emerging Leaders Group (ELG) Representative.

LGN was proud to sponsor the 2nd Annual WithAll ForeAll Golf Tournament last month at The Minikahda Club in Minneapolis. All proceeds from the fundraiser went directly to WithAll to support their mission of creating a cultural shift focusing on health and well-being instead of weight and appearance so all can feel good in their bodies and at peace with food. The money raised will help the organization provide resources and education to parents, teachers, coaches, and health providers along with recovery support grants to those in treatment for an eating disorder.
We are honored to be a partner in this important work. LGN associate Derek Waller was recently elected to serve as WithAll’s board chair and he attended the event with colleagues from LGN’s health law practice, including David Asp, Jennifer Jacobs, and David Hahn.
Over 50 legal professionals from the Twin Cities legal community gathered on Monday for the first ever “Lawyers and Libations: Next Generation Happy Hour.” This event was organized by LGN associates as a way to bring together the up-and-coming generation of Minneapolis and St. Paul attorneys. It was a lively evening on the patio at Lockridge Grindal Nauen with food, drinks, and great conversation.
If you would like to join the mailing list to learn about upcoming happy hours, please send your name and email to marketing@locklaw.com.

We were excited to host the latest reception for the Committee to Support the Antitrust Laws (COSAL) at Lockridge Grindal Nauen’s Minneapolis office. It was an inspiring evening of cocktails, dinner, and discussion among the antitrust community in Minneapolis. COSAL is the nation’s premier advocacy organization, representing antitrust lawyers and supporting pro-enforcement antitrust legislation.
LGN is proud to have a rich history with COSAL. Many LGN attorneys are active members and serve on various committees. Some highlights are below.
Dick Lockridge was a founding member of COSAL and was presented with the Curt Flood Award “for going to bat for antitrust law” during the 30th anniversary of COSAL in 2016.
Joe Bruckner has been active in COSAL for over 35 years. He served as president in the late 2000s and is now an emeritus member of its executive committee. He also serves on COSAL’s amicus and policy committees.
Heidi Silton took over as president during the COVID pandemic. She was honored for her inspiring leadership during the uncertain time with the 2021 COSAL President’s Award. She continues to be an active member and leader of the organization.
Lockridge Grindal Nauen joins our friends in the LGBTQ+ community by celebrating the many great contributions the community has made to our firm, our country, and the world. This year, raising our voices and celebrating Pride Month is more important than ever.
With a major election on the horizon, the LGBTQ+ community is in danger. More than 75 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been signed into law this year alone, more than doubling last year’s number, which was previously the worst year on record. The good news is many organizations are doing all they can to protect and promote equality.
One pivotal organization, The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people. HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ+ people are embraced as full members of society at home, at work, and in every community.
Their campaign entitled “We Show Up: Equality Wins,” is a resounding rejection of intimidation and fear designed to silence and erase the LGBTQ+ community. It will again show America the community’s collective strength and power to stand up, fight back, and secure the future it deserves without exception, as it’s been doing successfully for decades at the ballot box, state houses, school boards, and more.
We hope you join us in support of the important work HRC is doing both in local communities and across the nation. You can learn more about the campaign and how you can get involved via the link below:
Lockridge Grindal Nauen was proud to support the Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity’s premier fundraising event, Hard Hat & Black Tie Gala.

The evening was filled with fun, networking, and lots of laughter as guests arrived in their best ‘construction couture’ all in the spirit of supporting Habitat’s mission.

Nearly 500 attendees gathered at The Depot Minneapolis to celebrate the profound impact of youth mentorship in the Twin Cities community.
