Dorsey and Whitney LLP

The site publishes an Attorney Advertising notice which reads in full: "ATTORNEY ADVERTISING. Some of the content on this site is considered Attorney Advertising under the applicable rules of certain states. Results depend on a number of factors unique to each matter. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome." The footer states: "DORSEY is a registered trademark of Dorsey and Whitney LLP in the United States and United Kingdom as well as other jurisdictions," alongside links to Terms of Use, Data Privacy, Transparency in Coverage and a Site Map. The site does not publish rankings, award listings, bar admission details or lawyer counts on these pages.

The page is an index of areas the firm works in. It does not publish prices, rates or fees for any of these services, and it does not describe how a matter would be resolved. Whether the firm can take on a particular matter has to be confirmed with the firm.

Dorsey and Whitney LLP describes itself on its About Us page as "a full-service international law firm dedicated to helping our clients navigate the complexities of the rapidly evolving business world." The firm states that "Clients have relied on Dorsey as a valued business partner since 1912" and that "With locations across the United States and in Canada, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, Dorsey provides results-oriented, grounded counsel for our clients' legal and business needs." It also writes that "Dorsey attorneys bring more than legal experience to the table. We offer clients results-oriented advice reflecting a deep understanding of their business."

On the industries it serves, the page says: "Dorsey represents a number of the world's most successful companies from a wide range of industries, including banking and financial institutions; development and infrastructure; energy and natural resources; food, beverage and agribusiness; healthcare and life sciences; and technology."

The services offered are legal services to businesses and organisations, delivered from the firm's offices worldwide. The website does not publish prices, price ranges, rates, fees, hourly cost figures or any way to obtain an online estimate or quote, and it does not publish office opening hours, an appointment booking tool or an online scheduling system. It does not publish a headcount of lawyers. Anyone who needs a cost estimate, a quote for a matter, or an appointment should contact the firm directly rather than rely on figures from this summary. The firm's site carries an attorney advertising notice stating that "Results depend on a number of factors unique to each matter. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome."

Each office entry also has a Directions link. The areas served described in the firm's own words are the United States, Canada, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The Locations page does not publish opening hours for any office, and it does not publish prices, rates or fees.

Lists Wellington, Atlanta, Joplin, Wilmington, York, Columbia, Dallas, and Des Moines as a location. Names Alaska, California, Minnesota, New York, Washington, United States, Canarsie, and Whitney as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

The page carries this confidentiality warning verbatim: "Although we are looking forward to hearing from you, please understand that if you are not a current client of Dorsey and Whitney LLP, you should not include any confidential information in your email. Until we can determine whether we are able to represent you, we cannot treat information contained in your email as confidential."

To reach a particular office by phone, the Locations page lists a direct number for each office; the Minneapolis number is +1 (612) 340-2600. The website publishes no prices, no rates, no fee schedule and no way to request an online estimate or quote, and no appointment booking or scheduling tool. Any question about cost, engagement terms or whether the firm can act on a matter has to be put to the firm directly.

The Minneapolis, MN office address published on Dorsey's website is 50 South Sixth Street, Suite 1500, Minneapolis, MN 55402-1498. The phone number listed for this location is +1 (612) 340-2600, and a second number, +1 (612) 340-2868, is also listed on the page. The page provides a "Get Directions" link. This address and phone are specific to the Minneapolis office and are not the firm's general or firm-wide contact details.

The page gives client parking instructions for the 50 South Sixth Street ramp. The ramp entrance is marked by a large blue parking circle. Clients are directed to the "Dorsey and Whitney LLP Client Parking" sign on Level 3 of the ramp and to press the silver call button; a Dorsey console operator confirms their identity and allows access, and the client does not receive a parking ticket. Clients may park in any spot labelled "client parking", then follow the sign to the Dorsey elevator and go to the 15th floor, which is the main reception area, where the receptionist notifies the Dorsey employee. On departure clients press P3 in the elevator and the exit gate opens automatically. If all Level P3 client spaces are in use, clients use the public parking area on floors P4 through P8, take a ticket and bring it to the 15th floor receptionist for complimentary validation. For events, Dorsey validates parking on levels 4-8 of the same ramp, entered on Sixth Street between Hennepin Avenue and Nicollet Mall. The page asks that the 15th floor reception desk be alerted before a client's arrival where possible.

The page names two Minneapolis Office Co-Heads, both partners: Caitlin Hull and Michael Pignato. It does not publish office opening hours, an appointment or booking system, or any prices.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
