The 31 women lawyers of the Meagher & Geer firm’s Minneapolis office are featured in an article, “100% Club Spotlight,” (With Equal Right, The Official Journal of Minnesota Women Lawyers, Summer 2007). The article chronicles the success of the firm’s females. In the past three years the firm has elevated several women to its partnership ranks, and continues to place women attorneys in firm-leadership positions. In fact, women attorneys head up half of the firm’s practice groups: Cecilie Morris Loidolt, health care; Mary O’Brien, business services; Leatha Wolter, anti-fraud counseling and litigation; Paula Theisen, electronic litigation; and Laura Hanson, insurance coverage, and also a member of the firm’s management committee, and Vice Chair for the 2008 ABA insurance-coverage litigation committee. “Meagher & Geer is fortunate to have hard-working attorneys who are committed to excellence,” says Greg Stephens, the firm’s managing partner. A notable standout is partner Barbara Zurek who was recently invited to fellowship in the American College of Trial Lawyers. She focuses her practice in health care and professional-liability. She will be inducted this fall into the College, widely considered to be the premier professional trial organization in America.
