Crowell & Moring Opens Office in Minneapolis

Washington – May 13, 2026: Crowell & Moring has opened a new office in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with a focus on the firm’s regulatory, enforcement and litigation strengths in areas including health care, antitrust and competition, and labor and employment. The office launches with an initial team of eight attorneys, including partners Toni Michelle Jackson and Jeff Gleason, with additional growth anticipated in the near term. Minneapolis is Crowell’s 13^th office and follows office openings last year in Boston and Dallas.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area is home to the headquarters of 17 Fortune 500 companies, making it one of the most dynamic and exciting corporate markets in the country. Crowell has longstanding relationships with clients based in the area, and the opening of an office will allow the firm to enhance its support in a regulatory and business environment characterized by constant change and uncertainty. Crowell partner Toni Michelle Jackson, who has deep roots in Minneapolis and chairs the firm’s State Attorneys General Practice, will serve as managing partner. Her practice is focused on high-stakes litigation and investigations for companies facing bet-the-company risk—including class and collective actions, constitutional and civil rights challenges, State AG matters, and complex employment disputes in federal and state courts nationwide.

Health care litigator Jeffrey Gleason joined Crowell as a partner in October of 2025. His practice focuses on health care law, government investigations and enforcement actions, including under the False Claims Act, complex business litigation, and affirmative recoveries for managed care organizations. Jackson and Gleason are joined by five counsel and associates.

“The opening of an office in Minneapolis reflects an appreciation of the value of being close to clients to better understand their complex and evolving business needs. It’s also a recognition of the importance of the Minneapolis market and the opportunity to continue to expand our upper mid-west footprint,” said Toni Michelle Jackson, Managing Partner of Crowell’s Minneapolis office.

“The Minneapolis-St. Paul region is the home to longstanding clients who value our ability to bridge the divide between this dynamic business market and the complex regulatory and enforcement landscape driven by decisions in Washington,” said Philip T. Inglima, chair of Crowell’s Management Board.
