Alan G. Carlson

A consummate professional who guided us through a complex IP dispute

Our company faced a daunting intellectual property dispute that threatened a core product line. We were referred to Alan Carlson at Carlson Caspers, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first consultation, Alan’s deep understanding of the legal landscape, honed over his 34-year career, was evident. He didn't just recite statutes; he explained the strategic implications of every potential move, tying his analysis directly to our business goals. His background in both general practice and his recognized expertise in IP litigation, including his Lawyer of the Year accolade, meant he approached our case with a comprehensive, big-picture view. He anticipated the opposing counsel's arguments and prepared meticulous, unassailable responses. Throughout the process, Alan was a steady, communicative presence, demystifying complex procedures and keeping us informed without overwhelming us with legalese. His negotiation was masterful, resulting in a settlement that not only protected our intellectual property but also secured favorable licensing terms we hadn't thought possible. Working with Alan wasn't just about hiring a lawyer; it was about gaining a strategic partner. For any serious legal matter in the Twin Cities, especially those involving intellectual property or complex litigation, I cannot recommend Alan G. Carlson more highly.
