A child of the midwest, Paul Landskroener grew up in Illinois, Iowa, and Ohio. He attended Valparaiso University in Indiana where he earned his B.A. and his J.D. summa cum laude from Valparaiso University School of Law in 1991.
After graduation he moved to the Minnesota where he served the Minnesota Supreme Court as a law clerk to Justice Rosalie Wahl.
A year later, he joined the Minnesota Attorney General’s office where he represented the Department of Human Services. It was at the AG’s office that Paul began to practice health care and mental health law.
In 2000, Paul joined the legal department at UnitedHealthcare where he gained expertise in health insurance law and many aspects of corporate law practice. In 2003, he moved to Allina Hospitals and Clinics where he provided legal advice and counsel to doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other health care providers.
When Allina downsized its law department, Paul launched his own home-based law practice, Landskroener Law Office.
Paul belongs to the Minnesota State and Hennepin County Bar Associations and the MSBA’s Health Law, Probate & Trust Law, and Elder Law sections. He is also active in many community groups and organizations. He has served on the boards of nonprofit organizations and in 2009 earned a Mini-MBA in Nonprofit Management from the University of St. Thomas’ Center for Nonprofit Management.
Paul has two published legal articles. Not a Single Grain of Incense: Free Exercise and Conscientious Objection to Draft Registration was published in volume 25 of the Valparaiso University Law Review (1991) and (with co-author Tony Solgård), Municipal Voting System Reform: Overcoming the Legal Obstacles published in Bench and Bar, the publication of the Minnesota State Bar Association.
