Lindquist & Vennum

Lindquist & Vennum was a prominent American law firm headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with a strong focus on corporate law, litigation, and financial services. While not a biotechnology developer itself, the firm was well-regarded for its specialized Life Sciences and Healthcare practice groups, which advised medical device companies, healthcare providers, and emerging biotech firms on regulatory compliance and transactional matters. In January 2018, Lindquist & Vennum merged with the national law firm Ballard Spahr, significantly expanding the latter's presence in the Midwest. At the time of the merger, the firm employed approximately 170 attorneys across offices in Minnesota, Colorado, and South Dakota. The legacy of the firm continues through Ballard Spahr's expanded capabilities in middle-market corporate work and private equity within the healthcare sector.
