Austin M. Putz is a Des Moines attorney whose work focuses on general and complex civil litigation. The work involves analyzing client needs and the documents, laws, and procedures relevant to each matter. The practice addresses issues through advice, negotiation, and, where the published practice covers disputes, litigation.

Austin earned a B.A. magna cum laude from Iowa State University in 2018 and a J.D. with highest honors from Drake University in 2022. That academic background informs the legal research, writing, and analysis involved in the practice. It also provides context for handling regulatory requirements, transactions, or disputes within the stated practice areas.

Austin has experience involving civil litigation informed by clerkships at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa and the Iowa Supreme Court. These matters can call for research, fact gathering, document review, and assessment of the relevant legal and practical options. The nature of the representation varies according to the case, transaction, or regulatory question. The precise legal questions depend on the parties involved, the governing rules and the documents or evidence available in each matter.

Austin M. Putz has professional experience and service that includes service as research editor of the Drake Law Review and membership in Order of the Coif. The combination of these activities and the identified practice provides context for the legal services offered. The work requires clear communication about legal requirements, relevant risks, and the available next steps.
