About the Office
Twenty-seven years ago the Office of the General
Counsel was created to accomplish two
goals for the University of Minnesota: ensure
the best possible litigation outcomes, and
minimize legal problems by offering proactive
legal services.
OGC meets the legal needs of the University by offering highly specialized legal
services in many areas, including:
- litigation in federal and state courts and administrative
forums
- patent, trademark, and copyright law
- technology licensing and commercialization
- employment and labor relations
- health care law and medical malpractice
- sponsored research agreements
- regulatory compliance
- public finance and governance
- purchasing and sales of goods and services
- real estate transactions and eminent domain
- conflict of interest, ethics, and public disclosure laws
- constitutional law
- research misconduct
- international law and immigration
- sports law
Few universities in the United States have an in-house law office
that offers this range of expertise.
