From his office in the IDS Center in downtown Minneapolis, Mike Sullivan began 2020 with a strong desire to smoothly integrate Gray Plant Mooty into the larger Lathrop Gage law firm. Sullivan, who handles complex business transactions in the agribusiness, food, and manufacturing sectors, was thrown a curveball when the pandemic arrived in the spring. He’s now leading 98 Minneapolis-based attorneys, who are dealing with employment issues, supply chain disruptions, contract disputes, and other challenges that have surfaced because of coronavirus. In 2021, he’s looking for his team of attorneys to build stronger practice relationships with their peers in other firm offices.
