Natalie Lund

Natalie is an experienced litigator who has successfully represented clients in all phases of litigation, from providing advice at the inception of a claim, to obtaining favorable results at hearing, settlement, motion proceedings, and on appeal to the Workers’ Compensation Court of Appeals and the Minnesota Supreme Court. Natalie has an exceptional appellate practice, with two of her more recent Supreme Court cases cited by attorneys in the vast majority of settlement agreements. The breadth of her experience allows Natalie to advise her clients effectively regarding their rights and obligations under the Minnesota Workers’ Compensation system.

In her spare time, Natalie likes to pretend she does things like yoga, running, and traveling, but then she realizes that she has two young children and has no time to do anything.
