Wanta Thome is Minnesota’s Best Employment Law Firm in 2024
Although the Olympics are officially behind us, the gold medals haven’t stopped being awarded. We are thrilled to announce, that we have been awarded gold in the Star Tribune’s Minnesota’s Best competition for 2024. At Wanta Thome, we pride ourselves on our relentless pursuit of excellence. And, although we see constant reminders of this through successes in our case work, and awards we receive within the legal community, it is particularly meaningful when we are recognized for our work by our clients.
Minnesota’s Best Employment Law Firm: A Look at the Competition
Unlike many legal awards that are decided behind closed doors by other attorneys, Minnesota’s Best is a true community-driven contest. It’s the voices of our clients, their families, friends, colleagues, and our broader Minnesota community. The competition covers over 350 categories and places an emphasis awarding the most deserving business, organizations and community services through its long public voting period. For us, being named Minnesota’s Best Employment Law Firm is more than an award—it’s a testament to the strong relationships we build and the empowering work we do for our clients. This recognition underscores our commitment to accessible, client-focused legal services that make a real difference in Minnesota’s workplaces, addressing a wide range of employment law matters.

Our team of legal experts are ready and motivated to take on complex legal challenges.

Your Voice Matters Most
Recognitions and awards in the legal community are significant as they reflect our ability to help our clients navigate the complex and often confusing world of employment law, including resolving employment disputes. However, these recognitions are not how we define success at our firm. We often look to our clients as the barometer of our success as a firm. That is why awards like Minnesota’s best are so valuable to us. Shawn Wanta put it best:
“our clients are our best teachers…”
“This is our first time receiving this honor, and it means the world to everyone at Wanta Thome. We’ve always believed that our clients are our best teachers, so being recognized by them is incredibly rewarding. It’s a testament to our team’s dedication to not just advocating for our clients, but to creating more equitable workplaces for everyone in our community.”
