He is a frequent lecturer on a broad range of insurance and tort litigation subjects. Gary is a former member of the adjunct faculty at the University of Minnesota where he taught insurance law. He serves as general counsel to the Minnesota Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association and is the former chair of Federal Practice Committee for U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.
Terri Krivosha assists businesses of all sizes to realize their goals, including initial formation, capitalization, growth through merger or acquisition, governance, or general business matters.
