LGN Celebrates Pride 2024

June 3, 2024/in Community, News /by Megan Hoelscher
LGN Celebrates Pride

Lockridge Grindal Nauen joins our friends in the LGBTQ+ community by celebrating the many great contributions the community has made to our firm, our country, and the world. This year, raising our voices and celebrating Pride Month is more important than ever.  

With a major election on the horizon, the LGBTQ+ community is in danger. More than 75 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been signed into law this year alone, more than doubling last year’s number, which was previously the worst year on record. The good news is many organizations are doing all they can to protect and promote equality.

One pivotal organization, The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people. HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ+ people are embraced as full members of society at home, at work, and in every community.

Their campaign entitled “We Show Up: Equality Wins,” is a resounding rejection of intimidation and fear designed to silence and erase the LGBTQ+ community. It will again show America the community’s collective strength and power to stand up, fight back, and secure the future it deserves without exception, as it’s been doing successfully for decades at the ballot box, state houses, school boards, and more.

We hope you join us in support of the important work HRC is doing both in local communities and across the nation. You can learn more about the campaign and how you can get involved via the link below:

Abotsi-Kowu Selected for “Living the Mission” Award

May 30, 2024/in News /by Megan Hoelscher
Consuela Abotsi-Kowu

Congratulations to Consuela Abotsi-Kowu on her recent graduation from the University of St. Thomas School of Law! We are excited to welcome Consuela as an LGN associate this fall.

Consuela was recently recognized for her many accomplishments during her time at St. Thomas as she was awarded the “Living the Mission Award.” One student from each class and a graduate are selected to receive the “Living the Mission Award.” The award is given to the student/graduate who best exemplifies the mission by his or her activities in and/or outside the classroom or in the profession.

Here is a description of Consuela’s many “activities” that formed the basis for this award:

Throughout her academic career, Consuela has demonstrated leadership as the President of UST BLSA and as the Vice President of the Student Government, serving the student body. In her final year, she was instrumental in a student team’s effort to draft a proposal to the Minnesota Association of Black Lawyers (MABL), seeking financial support for a BLSA Moot Court competition team. This team, which competed in the NBLSA Midwest competition and secured fourth place, achieved this success without the guidance of a coach. Despite not being a member of the organization, Consuela has contributed her support to the Muslim Law Students Association (MSLA) by assisting in the planning of their annual Iftar dinner. Additionally, she has dedicated her time to volunteering in the MJF Street Law program as a student teacher and as a judge for the Minnesota Classic Debate.

Congratulations, Consuela!

Silton Appointed Co-Lead Counsel in Eyewear Antitrust Class Action

May 17, 2024/in Heidi M. Silton, News /by Megan Hoelscher
Silton Eyewear

Lockridge Grindal Nauen is proud to announce that LGN partner Heidi Silton has been appointed as co-lead counsel in the In re Eyewear Antitrust Litigation. This large class action lawsuit against the European eyewear conglomerate EssilorLuxottica S.A. and its affiliated companies alleges abuse of monopoly power in the eyewear market.

EssilorLuxottica owns well-known premium eyewear brands such as Oakley, Ray-Ban, Persol, Arnett, and Oliver Peoples. It also owns the largest eyewear retailers in the United States including Target Optical, LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, and Sunglass Hut, as well as several online counterparts.

The multi-dimensional anticompetitive scheme alleged by Plaintiffs resulted in supra-competitive prices for eyewear. Plaintiff notably alleges that the anticompetitive scheme has allowed EssilorLuxottica to “sustain 1,000 to 5,000 percent retail markups” on premium-branded eyewear, while increasing market share and operating margins.

Congratulations to Heidi and the antitrust team which includes Jessica Servais, Joe Bourne, Eura Chang, Halima Bareentto and Cheryl.

LGN Sponsors PFund’s Moxie Awards

May 1, 2024/in Community, Derek C. Waller, News /by Megan Hoelscher

LGN was proud to sponsor PFund’s 2024 Moxie Awards earlier this month. The fundraising event helps support PFund’s mission of building community and providing resources and support for LGBTQ+ organizations and individuals through grants and scholarships by developing leaders and inspiring giving. The foundation has expanded beyond its modest roots to become the only queer community foundation serving the Upper Midwest.

LGN associate Derek Waller and his partner represented LGN at the event. When asked about the experience, Derek shared:

“It is inspiring to see how a grassroots foundation based in Minnesota has grown to make a difference for queer folks all across the upper Midwest, especially in areas where our community needs more support than ever.  PFund’s grantees are doing critical work for our communities, and scholarships show queer youth who need financial support for education that we’ve got their back. I wouldn’t be where I am today without community support, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to pay it forward.”
