Karen Lundquist is the owner of Attenza Law, a Minnesota firm that advises small and midsize businesses, startups, and nonprofit organizations. Her practice focuses on the everyday legal needs of growing organizations, including business contracts, employment questions, commercial leases, trademark issues, and disputes involving operations or property. She helps clients identify legal risks early and build practical systems for handling common business and workforce issues.

Karen earned a J.D., cum laude, from William Mitchell College of Law in 2005. Her legal education developed into a business-focused practice that combines counseling, contract analysis, employment guidance, and preventive legal planning. She also teaches legal writing to foreign attorneys at the University of Minnesota Law School, work that reflects an emphasis on clear communication, careful drafting, and explaining legal concepts in a practical way.

Karen founded Attenza Law in 2010 after gaining experience in employment and business law. She advises business owners on matters such as hiring and termination, agreements, leasing, trademarks, and other operational questions that arise as organizations grow. She also supervises a University of Minnesota pro bono program with LegalCORPS that serves small businesses, startups, and nonprofits, connecting practical business law experience with legal education and community service.

Karen Lundquist focuses on making legal advice useful for owners and organizations that may not maintain a large in-house legal department. Her work combines business counseling, employment guidance, contract review, and preventive planning with an understanding of the practical demands facing smaller organizations. Through both private practice and legal education, she emphasizes clear writing, accessible advice, and legal structures that help clients manage risk and operate more effectively.
