Bryce Young joined the firm in 2011 as an associate in the Business and Commercial Litigation practice group. Bryce primarily focuses on general business litigation, but has experience working in several other areas of law, including employment, antitrust, construction, product liability and franchise disputes. Relying on his economics background and business experience, Bryce seeks not only to understand and appreciate his clients’ legal issues, but also the business context in which they arise. Accordingly, Bryce is able to offer valuable legal insight while tailoring his advice to help clients address their business objectives.

Before joining the firm, Bryce served as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable Alan C. Page, Helen M. Meyer and Christopher J. Dietzen of the Minnesota Supreme Court. Bryce also served as an extern for the Honorable Daniel C. Moreno of the 4th Judicial District Court–Hennepin County.

Bryce is originally from Wisconsin but now resides in Saint Paul with his lovely wife, Ruth, his Helping Paws service dog and the couple’s cat.
