Firm Overview

A Leading Saint Paul, Minnesota Law Firm

Combining More than 100 Years of Experience in Securing Extraordinary and Creative Results for our Clients

From a foundation laid in 1965, Nolan, Thompson & Leighton combines the knowledge and experience that comes from the practice of law.  The firm’s longevity can be traced to solid core values: integrity, experience, service and dedication to our clients and their needs.

The world has changed a great deal in the last forty years, and the success of the firm and its clients is due to its ability to innovate and adapt in a changing legal practice in order to find creative and imaginative solutions to litigation and business issues for our clients. 

We are a firm that is small enough to know you, and to work with you directly on a one-to-one basis.  At the same time, we offer experience and leadership uncommon for a firm of this size.  Our attorneys have over 100 years of combined experience, an invaluable resource.  But it isn’t just the length, but the breadth of experience that is most valuable.  Whether it’s arguing before the United States Supreme Court, or a rural county courthouse, we’ve been there.  And we’ve also been in the courts in between; including state courts, Federal district and appeals courts, the Minnesota Supreme Court, and Tribal Courts. 

The firm has been an innovator, spearheading leading cases in the areas of employment law, insurance law, franchise litigation, petroleum litigation and personal injury litigation. 

Our lawyers are trained as both counselors and attorneys.  We provide business planning, structure business and real estate transactions, and work to find business solutions.  We view our role as protecting and securing our clients’ rights, creating win/win solutions through creative negotiations, and championing our clients’ cases in the courtroom whenever necessary. 

We recognize that our clients have their own expertise and individual needs, and that one size does not fit all.  That is why you’ll find that the first thing we do is listen, so that the legal knowledge and experience we offer meets your needs.

In a world of increasing complexity and accelerating change, we strive to combine the bedrock strengths of experience and integrity with energy and creativity in legal representation.
