Overview

Carly Johnson is an associate in Maslon's Litigation Group assisting clients across a broad range of general commercial disputes, with a particular emphasis on construction and trust and estate litigation, including guardianships/conservatorships, contested estates, probate, and elder law matters. She also advises clients on contract matters and real estate disputes. 

Carly's practice is informed by her active civic engagement and service, which includes her election to the Oak Park Heights, Minnesota, city council in 2018. Additionally, she has served on the National League of Cities' Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources Federal Advocacy Committee and the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources. Her local, state, and federal government experience has broadened her knowledge of government and regulatory operations and helped hone her ability to address complex issues.

While earning her degree at Mitchell Hamline School of Law, Carly gained valuable experience interning with the Honorable Francis J. Connolly of the Minnesota Court of Appeals. She also served on the executive board for the school's law review, mentored 1L students in civil dispute resolution and contract law courses as a Learning Community Leader, and worked as a research assistant at the Public Health Law Center in St. Paul, where she researched and compiled policies related to building and zoning policy and its impact on public health.
