Greene Espel PLLP is delighted to announce that Minnesota Lawyer named Jeanette Bazis to the 2023 “POWER 30” list for Business Litigation. To create the Power 30 list, Minnesota Lawyer interviewed respected Minnesota attorneys and leaders, reviewed outcomes of significant cases, and consulted the Minnesota Lawyer archives for “people whose achievements and influence we recognize as powerful business litigators in Minnesota.” When selecting the 30 attorneys, Minnesota Lawyer highlights those whose presence on a case “signifies the stakes, who have influenced the direction of the law, whose leadership in the community is pervasive and whose respect within the bar is undeniable.” 

Jeanette is an experienced and highly regarded business litigator, negotiator, and strategist, whose practice spans business, intellectual property, and employment litigation, as well as internal investigations. Clients repeatedly call on Jeanette as their lead counsel because she works to understand their goals and crafts tailored strategies to reach those goals effectively and efficiently.

Jeanette’s knowledge of Minnesota courts is exceptional. Jeanette has worked elbow-to-elbow with our federal and state judges throughout her 30+ year career. She has been a leader in the Federal Bar Association for decades. She served on the Federal Practice Committee, where she led a subcommittee to bring clarity to our Local Rules. Jeanette also served on the Minnesota Supreme Court Civil Justice Reform Task Force, formed to recommend amendments to the rules of civil procedure.  

Jeanette is also a leader in the community, with a particular focus on mentoring women and promoting diversity in the legal profession. She served as President of the Infinity Project, whose mission is to increase the gender diversity of the state and federal bench in the Eighth Circuit. Jeanette earned her second Attorney of the Year award for this work.
