Karen Hanson Riebel Selected as “Top Women in Law” Honoree
We are pleased to announce that Karen Hanson Riebel has been honored by Minnesota Lawyer magazine as a “Top Women in Law” award recipient! This prestigious award recognizes women attorneys who have achieved excellence in the legal profession, made significant contributions to the legal community, and demonstrated outstanding leadership. She was celebrated at an awards ceremony in Minneapolis last night.
Karen has been on the forefront of nationwide data breach litigation for more than ten years, just one component of a long and distinguished career as a consumer protection, antitrust, and securities lawyer acting on behalf of plaintiffs and classes. She is a fierce advocate on behalf of those who have been harmed and has used her advocacy in motion practice, discovery, at trial, and in achieving landmark settlements.
Karen is known for her ability to work collaboratively with counsel, both co-counsel and opposing counsel, her ability to work with plaintiffs, and her breadth of expertise, especially in data breach and privacy litigation. She is adept at working cooperatively to solve problems and manage teams of lawyers and litigants.
Karen is a fantastic mentor to less experienced attorneys and participates in mentoring groups that facilitate learning across practice, gender, racial, and experience level lines. She is devoted to studying diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and works to foster an inclusive environment for all attorneys. She is conscious of including a diverse range of attorneys from all races, genders, geographic regions, years in practice, and backgrounds in all that she does.
Congratulations, Karen, on this remarkable achievement!
