Daniel J. Schwartz - New Ulm, MN

Dan has a focused expertise as a business attorney. He began his career with a large Minneapolis-based law firm, representing financial institutions, cooperatives and other businesses in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, private placements, bankruptcy and creditors' remedies, secured transactions, business formation, corporate governance and commercial litigation.
