Practice Areas

Minnesota Attorneys

Thomsen & Nybeck offers legal services in four broad categories:

Litigation

Litigation is not an afterthought at Thomsen & Nybeck. The litigation team constitutes a substantial practice group that brings service and commitment to each client's pursuit of and end through any of the myriad of forums. We bring a litigator's perspective to all of our practice areas. We think proactively, considering such issues as: How can we protect our client if this contract ends up in court? If something goes wrong with this transaction, what will a court say? Sometimes, the most important service our litigators provide is helping our transactional clients avoid litigation. However, when arbitration or litigation is the most effective way to resolve and issue, we are the attorneys you will want to have on your side.

Real Estate Law

Real estate law is one of the pillars of our practice at Thomsen & Nybeck in Edina, Minnesota. Our real estate practice runs the gamut from commercial and residential transactions, to real estate broker representation, to the varying needs of land developers, and to litigation.

As townhome and condominium association living continues to grow in Minnesota, so does the need for legal advice. Our lawyers presently represent more than 400 townhome, condominium and single-family homeowner associations in Minnesota.

As the counsel for the Minnesota Association of Realtors and frequent presenters at real estate seminars and continuing education courses throughout the state, we bring unique insight to the representation of agents and brokerages.

Business Law

In today's legal and regulatory environment, forming and operating a business has become increasingly complex. As a result, businesses need knowledgeable, experienced and cost-efficient business law counsel more than ever. We provide guidance to existing and forming businesses of all types.

Our lawyers represent both lenders and borrowers in real estate and commercial financing. Our clients include banks, lenders and insurance companies, as well as individual investors and corporations.

Many employment law firms concentrate on litigation. While Thomsen & Nybeck has a track record of success in employment law cases, our lawyers also do a lot of advising on how to avoid the courtroom. For example, we counsel employers on how to draft an effective noncompete agreement. Many of the agreements that end up in court were not drafted properly. We also advise employees on their obligations under such an agreement if they are planning to leave their employer.

Many businesses and high net-worth individuals turn to their accountants for advice when it comes to estate planning or taxation. It is important to not only know how the numbers work out, but also understand the legal implications. In addition, other professionals may not understand all the legal ways you can arrange your assets to minimize tax consequences.

Services for Individuals

Done properly, estate planning is as much about protecting your family and your assets through wills, trusts and other documents, as it is about distributing assets after your death. At Thomsen & Nybeck in Edina, Minnesota, our lawyers focus on planning for life events for clients from 18 to 80. Those events may include marriage, the birth of children, starting a business, children going to college, caring for parents, investments, illness, nursing home admission and death.

When faced with a criminal or traffic charge, many Minnesotans are embarrassed and quickly offer guilty or no-contest pleas in hopes of making the case go away. However, pleading guilty to any misdemeanor or felony offense may result not only in unwanted publicity in your local newspaper, but also in a criminal record. When faced with such a circumstance, it is important to seek advice from knowledgeable counsel before making any decisions.

Victims and their families are often unaware of the extent of their rights to compensation after a car accident or other accident. Thomsen & Nybeck, P.A. provides complete personal injury legal services, and can help guide you through the issues you may be dealing with.

Divorce is a very stressful process for anyone to go through. The experienced family law attorneys at Thomsen & Nybeck can help guide you through this difficult time helping you make the most important decisions of your life, including: the custody of your children after divorce, visitation, ownership of your home, division of property and others.
