Eckberg Lammers

What Eckberg Lammers does

Eckberg Lammers, P.C. is a full-service law firm founded in 1949 by Lyle Eckberg in Stillwater, Minnesota, and partnered with James Lammers in the late 1960s. The firm operates 19 practice areas organized around three core client segments: individuals (estate planning, personal injury, workers' compensation, family law), business clients (banking & finance, M&A, commercial real estate, franchise law, business organization, succession planning), and municipalities (city attorney services, prosecution, land use, code enforcement, economic development, labor & employment for public sector). Ancillary offerings include Training & Consulting Services and independent Workplace Investigations. The firm distinguishes itself through a proprietary prosecution case management technology developed in-house that integrates with law enforcement and court systems.

The firm is headquartered in Stillwater, MN, with full-service offices in Hudson, WI, Bloomington, MN, and Oakdale, MN, plus a network of meeting locations across the Twin Cities metro, out-state Minnesota (St. Cloud, Duluth, Mankato), and outreach into Fargo, ND and Sioux Falls, SD. The team includes 23+ attorneys with 275+ years of combined experience. Eckberg Lammers generates revenue primarily through professional fee billing (hourly rates and retainer arrangements) for legal representation across its practice areas, supplemented by fee-based training programs. Distribution is direct via attorney-client relationships, supported by content marketing, professional affiliations, community involvement (5% of annual net income committed to charitable giving), and educational events/webinars.

Operationally the firm maintains a horizontal segmentation approach and pursues expansion organically through attorney hiring and lateral additions rather than acquisitions. The firm is a privately held professional corporation with no parent company, no external investment, and no disclosed M&A activity. Brand equity is reinforced by five consecutive Bronze Awards for Best Law Firm - Civil Litigation in the Star Tribune Readers' Choice Awards, multiple Super Lawyers Rising Stars designations, and recognition as one of the most well-known law firms in Minneapolis-St. Paul and western Wisconsin.
