We’re proud to share that David Zoll, partner at Lockridge Grindal Nauen PLLP., has been named a 2025 Attorney of the Year by Minnesota Lawyer.

David earned this recognition for his leadership in the high‑profile “Quorum Lawsuits”—a landmark constitutional case heard by the Minnesota Supreme Court. Serving as lead outside counsel for Minnesota House leadership, he worked closely with an outstanding team from the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office and the Office of the Secretary of State.

The case tackled core questions about the constitutional requirements for a quorum in the State House. David’s work helped secure a ruling that clarified the 68‑member majority requirement, strengthening the legislative process for Minnesotans.

As the only private‑practice attorney involved, David’s selection highlights LGN’s commitment to supporting public institutions with top‑tier legal counsel during critical moments.

Congratulations, Dave—this honor is well deserved.
