June 8, 2023
Maslon is pleased to announce the addition of Partner Evan Berquist to the firm's Corporate & Securities Group and attorney Emily Liebman to the Litigation Group.
Evan focuses on mergers and acquisitions, strategic financing transactions, and general corporate and commercial matters. He comes to Maslon with a decade of experience in private practice—most recently at an AmLaw 100 firm—managing both domestic and international transactions for a wide range of clients.
Evan began his legal career clerking for a U.S. District Court judge in Puerto Rico. Before law school, he worked in Costa Rica for Cargill and for the Washington, D.C.-based International Republican Institute. He is fluent in Spanish.
Emily brings to Maslon a background as a prosecutor in both the Hennepin County and Ramsey County Attorney’s Office. In these roles, she gained valuable experience first-chairing numerous felony jury trials, managing large case dockets, litigating pretrial motions, and negotiating pleas. As an assistant county attorney, she prosecuted various felonies, including drug prosecutions, property crimes, gun crimes, sexual assaults, and homicide cases, with some cases garnering significant media attention.
