Three Questions with Maureen Lodoen

What do you enjoy most about your work?

Minnesota construction and real estate professionals are ambitious, entrepreneurial, and down-to-earth people who work hard to make our state a beautiful and functional place to live, work, and play.  They inspire me to work just as hard to remove any legal roadblocks they encounter so that they can focus on what they do best.

What excites you about the future of the industry?

Labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, rising costs of materials, and regulatory compliance present no shortage of challenges in 2022.  I’m excited to see how these challenges spark creative solutions and innovative ideas that will continue to propel the industry forward.  

Tell us about something that has shaped your career as a real estate and construction attorney?

Countless professors, colleagues, classmates, family, and friends have supported, encouraged, and guided me along my journey to becoming a real estate and construction attorney.  I’m grateful to all those who have invested in me, and I hope to find ways to pay their kindness forward as I progress in my career.
