I am a business and employment law attorney focusing on the business, employment and litigation needs of entrepreneurs and growing businesses. I frequently advise clients on mergers & acquisitions, employment agreements, non compete and severance agreements, and trademark and copyright disputes.My transactional background, coupled with my understanding of and experience in pursuing litigation when necessary, is particularly well-suited to small and medium-sized businesses that need their legal concerns addressed promptly, efficiently, and effectively. I pride myself on exceeding my clients’ expectations. My responsiveness, creativity and ability to efficiently evaluate, advise and advocate for clients has earned me the respect of peers, as I have been named a Rising Star multiple times by Minnesota Law & Politics magazine. I graduated from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1997, where I was a managing editor for the Minnesota Law Review. After graduating from the University of Minnesota, I joined the Hinshaw & Culbertson law firm in its Minneapolis office, practicing primarily in business and corporate law. I am a founding partner of Trepanier & MacGillis P.A., which added a shareholder in 2013 and is now known as Trepanier MacGillis Battina P.A.I have spoken before classes at the University of St. Thomas New Venture MBA Program. I am currently co-chairman of the Lawyer Referral & Information Service of the Hennepin County Bar Association, and am a former member of the Board of Directors of Americoach, a Twin Cities-based nonprofit. I regularly volunteer with the Hennepin County Self-Help Expungement Clinic, and assist low income clients through the Volunteer Lawyers Network.SPECIALTIESBusiness, Contract & Corporate lawEmployment LawMergers & AcquisitionsNon-compete AgreementsSeverance AgreementsCopyrights & TrademarksTrade Secret Disputes

Jon is an attorney who represents business clients in their complex technology and business legal matters.  He also represents clients in mergers and acquisitions.  He primarily works in Spencer Fane's Minneapolis office.

Greg’s practice and legal skill set developed and expanded with the needs of his clients – businesses of all sizes, from sole proprietorships to large insurance companies.  Clients often want a single lawyer on “speed dial” to troubleshoot their legal questions – on whatever topic – as they arise.  They want their lawyer to answer the phone and respond to emails promptly.  Greg does answer his own phone – sometimes on the first ring – and he prides himself on being responsive.  Clients know their lawyers have other clients, but they should never feel that the other clients are in the way.Though he began his career as a large case litigator and continues to enjoy the intensity of courtroom work, early on Greg found it equally rewarding to advise businesses about how to stay out of court.  Since the late 1990s, Greg has served as outside General Counsel for many companies, advising them on everything from their initial business formation and startup issues to their ultimate sale, dissolution or merger – “sunrise to sunset.”  Along the way, he handles their legal issues of almost every kind, including in the areas of employment (drafting and enforcement of employment contracts and non-competes, employment law compliance audits, discrimination charges), customer and vendor contracts and disputes, insurance coverage advice, regulatory matters, account collection and litigation of all sorts.  Greg’s practice illustrates the old saying that “The law is a seamless web.” Greg is active in the legal community, serving as Chair of, and frequent contributor to, the Hennepin County Bar Association’s flagship magazine, Hennepin Lawyer.  He co-chairs the HCBA Torts and Insurance Section as well.  He is active in his community, chairing and serving as officer of various local boards.  His hobbies include photography and performing in triathlons.

I chose to work at a very small, hands-on law firm in the Twin Cities because I wanted the opportunity to practice my profession and interact with clients, attorneys, and judicial officers.  I have learned that the most satisfying aspect of being an attorney is helping individuals who have been taken advantage of and who do not have the ability to protect their own interests.  A satisfied client is more rewarding than anything else, to me.

My main focus is to communicate clearly and regularly with my clients so that the objectives of the representation are always met or exceed the analyzed potential outcomes .  As an attorney and counselor, my true value to clients is to provide them excellent legal representation through a long term relationship rather than a one and done transaction in a multitude of areas.
