I grew up in the Twin Cities, attended the University of Minnesota Law School and graduated magna cum laude in 1994.  Since then, I began practicing law in Minneapolis.

I began my career at Popham Haik Schnobrich & Kaufman Ltd. and later joined Hinshaw & Culbertson, both national law firms.

In December 2001, I formed my own law firm, Trepanier Law Office, in St. Paul, Minnesota. In October 2003, I formed Trepanier & MacGillis P.A. with Jim MacGillis and moved the office to Minneapolis. In November 2013 Jim and I welcomed Bryan R. Battina as a new shareholder and renamed the firm Trepanier MacGillis Battina P.A.

My partners and I are proud of the law firm we have built and welcome the opportunity to discuss your legal situation, whether you are corporate in-house counsel, a business owner, within the management group of your company, the HR Director, or a business executive looking for legal advice regarding a business or employment law situation. 

We handle all aspects of corporate law, business law, incorporating in Minnesota, LLCs, commercial litigation, business litigation, employment law, employment litigation, shareholder rights litigation, non-compete agreements, trade secrets law, and sales rep law. 

Our firm is conveniently located in downtown Minneapolis in the historic Flour Exchange Building adjacent to the federal courthouse, two blocks from the Hennepin County Government Center, and close to many government agencies.

Several parking ramps are within one block and our office has easy access to most freeways (35W, 94, 394).

We serve as local litigation counsel to attorneys outside of the State of Minnesota. 

For new clients, we offer an initial two (2) hour consultation for the flat fee of $500.  We welcome the opportunity to discuss your legal issue. 

Sincerely,

Craig W. Trepanier
