Top-Level Representation For Corporate Clients
At Berens & Miller, P.A., we represent clients from around the country seeking innovative solutions to novel or complex legal problems in the state of Minnesota.
Founded in 1989, our firm has helped pioneer the law itself as well as the way in which legal services are delivered to clients. As a result, our clients know they can look to us when they want the sophistication of large-firm legal services tailored to their unique specifications.
A Legal Practice Built On Referrals
We consider ourselves to be one of a new breed of law firms that is emerging in the legal profession. This new breed delivers the results of the largest firms of yesterday while cutting the fat normally associated with those large firms.
We take great pride in the relationships we have built with our clients and with the larger business community. Most likely, you are at our site because you have been referred to us by one of those clients.
Clients From Across The Nation Seek Out Our Services
We excel in serving as outside counsel to some of the largest businesses in the country: Fortune 500 companies, health care and insurance providers, and players’ unions in the country’s largest sports organizations, just to name a few categories of clients we represent.
Why do we attract clients like you? Many times, it is because inside general counsel and corporate executives appreciate our work during highly visible litigation. They know we understand the larger, real-world context for successful legal decision-making during litigation.
As a result, our clients rely on our judgment with confidence. They know we can provide them with the insights they need in order to choose wisely from their available options in complex corporate matters.

Testimonials
Lisa Greely, Independent Financial Group, LLC
I knew I had best firm when I began working with Berens & Miller, P.A.. They were very “hands on” and attentive to every matter that needed attention. Their procedure to handle the issues were firm and knowledgeable but approached with kindness and compassion that you don’t typically see with attorneys. I will not hesitate to recommend them to others.

In 2011, Berens & Miller began serving as our outside corporate counsel, providing us with advice in all of our employment, contract, real estate, board, corporate governance and regulatory matters. They are extremely responsive to our needs and very thorough in their legal work. I am pleased with how the attorneys at Berens & Miller assist us in navigating through the legal and business issues that arise in our nonprofit environment.
