January 27, 2025
Maslon is pleased to announce that Susan Markey, chair of the Corporate & Securities Group and member of Maslon's board of directors, has been featured in Minnesota Lawyer's 2025 Power List: Mergers & Acquisitions.
The Power List is a feature that examines the power brokers who lead and influence the Minnesota legal community, with a focus on those "whose mere presence on a case signifies the stakes, who have influenced the direction of the law, whose leadership in the community is pervasive, and whose respect within the bar is undeniable."

Susan represents clients in general corporate, taxation, and nonprofit matters. She draws from a diverse background in government, accounting, and law to serve as a holistic business advisor, and strongly believes that tax and corporate advice should be both easy to understand and practical.
Over the past 18 months, Susan has served as lead counsel on several significant M&A transactions, including:
- The sale of one of the nation's largest data analytics firm to a leading digital consulting firm.
- The sale of Dean's Home Services, a leading provider of plumbing, drain and sewer, and water heater services to over 10,000 customers, to Redwood Services, a home services investment firm. The transaction was complex, structured to allow Dean's to retain significant minority ownership and continue to operate and manage the business, while Redwood handles the operational, strategic, and financial functions.
- The sale of a top sports camera company to a private equity firm. The deal was valued at approximately $350 million and required multiple stages of restructuring to ensure certain tax benefits. Because the seller remained a 50% owner post-sale, the transaction required significant negotiation of protective provisions.
Susan is ranked as a top Minnesota lawyer for corporate/M&A law in Chambers USA.
