Michael Frasier

Firm: Rubric Legal LLC
111 Third Ave S , Minneapolis , Minnesota 55401
Practice Areas: Business
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.

M Simpson

33 S Sixth St #4400 , Minneapolis , Minnesota 55402
Practice Areas: Business
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.
