Healthcare Litigation Attorney Erin Secord Joins Dorsey in Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Erin Secord has joined Dorsey & Whitney LLP as Of Counsel in the Firm’s Healthcare Litigation group in Minneapolis, the international law firm announced today.

Erin comes to Dorsey from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Minnesota, where she was an Assistant U.S. Attorney. In that role, she handled a broad civil litigation docket, including restitution enforcement, torts, civil commitments, bankruptcy, foreclosures, and affirmative fraud. Erin also worked on behalf of several major U.S. federal administrative agencies.

Erin received her J.D. from Suffolk University Law School, her M.B.A. from Sawyer Business School, and her B.A. from St. Olaf College. She was previously a litigation associate at Fredrikson & Byron, P.A. and a judicial law clerk to the Honorable Donovan W. Frank and the Honorable Steven E. Rau of the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.
