Presenters:
Faris Rashid, Greene Espel, represents
clients in technology, intellectual-property, and trade-secret disputes. A
Fortune 100 client said that Faris’s "briefs sing, and he has won the praise of
many state and federal judges for his composure and agility as an oral
advocate." Faris has a particular knack for understanding cutting-edge products,
technologies, and business arrangements and then explaining the issues in a way
that earns the court’s trust. Faris also settles business disputes before they
reach a lawsuit, provides concrete advice for navigating new areas of law, and
conducts probability-based risk assessments. Outside of his litigation work,
Faris is consistently invited to speak at seminars including the Minnesota
Technology Law Institute, the Minnesota Business Law Institute, and the Upper
Midwest Employment Law Institute, and he has presented on the impact of new
data-privacy regulations in the
EU.
Aaron Knoll, Greene Espel, is a business litigator. He
represents national and international businesses in a wide range of commercial,
consumer, and class-action disputes. He also advocates for developers in
regulatory and litigation matters in the renewable-energy industry. Aaron
attended the University of Minnesota for college and the University of St.
Thomas for law school. After law school, he clerked for Justice Christopher
Dietzen of the Minnesota Supreme Court and Judge Paul Magnuson of the United
States District Court for the District of Minnesota. For the last several years,
Aaron has taught legal writing to 2Ls at St. Thomas—a subject he can’t wait to
discuss.
