With the fresh perspective of a millennial and the critical thinking of a sharp, prepared mind, Olivia creatively and efficiently helps clients advance and achieve their goals. She thrives at the intersection of strategy and the law, where she can turn complex issues into understandable, persuasive arguments for the firm’s clients.
For me, mastering a case is about delving into the details and then using them to tell a persuasive story.
Vigilant about the details, she remains mindful of the big picture, acutely aware that everything is connected and that seemingly insignificant facts can become key in a case. Highly intuitive, Olivia effectively reads people and situations, enabling her to critically think about cases and strategically form arguments. She brings skillful thinking and improved efficiency with her ability to organize, manage, and present a plethora of critical information. Olivia stays current on insurance coverage issues through daily monitoring of the news and reports to help clients both locally and nationally.
Olivia represents insurance companies and works closely with the firm’s clients on a variety of coverage issues, including:
Having mastered the Local Rules for the U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota, she is adept at guiding out-of-state clients and counsel through the intricacies of the Local Rules and Practice Pointers of the Minnesota Federal Court.
In addition to her practice, Olivia is an active alumna of both St. Olaf College and the University of Minnesota Law School, participating in mentor events, and volunteering for the annual St. Olaf Black and Gold Gala fundraiser. She is also a mentor for the University of St. Thomas School of Law Mentor Externship Program. Olivia was recently profiled as a young superstar practicing in the complex world of insurance litigation in the “2017 Next Generation Attorney Special Issue” of Attorney at Law.

We believe that finding historical evidence of exposure to asbestos is critical to understanding and evaluating claims. The truth is out there. Actually, the truth is right here.
Over 100 companies have declared bankruptcy due at least in part to overwhelming asbestos liability. Many of those companies established trusts to administer claims. A number of trusts have published lists on public websites identifying “approved sites” where exposure to company products is presumed. InSight Reports allows users to search aggregated records of “approved sites” published by every bankruptcy trust that has made that information available. InSight Reports is current as of 2018, and presently contains over 130,000 records of “approved sites” from 38 asbestos trusts. It is easy to search InSight Reports – and it’s free.
