Experienced Real Estate Attorney Amy L. DuMond Kottke Joins Hinshaw in Minneapolis

Amy L. DuMond Kottke has joined the U.S. law firm of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP as a partner in the Commercial Transactions group in the Minneapolis office. DuMond Kottke has a national practice, with a focus on real estate development, financing, acquisition and sales, commercial leasing and construction.

"Amy represents the entire cross section of participants in real estate transactions including, borrowers, lenders, owners, landlords, tenants and developers and her broad experience provides additional depth to our real estate practice and transactional group," said Dean Parker, Chair of the firm's Commercial Transactions Practice Group. "The pandemic has presented a number of challenging legal issues and caused significant upheaval in the real estate sector, and we know that clients will benefit from Amy’s experience in working through these issues."

Formerly with Monroe Moxness Berg, DuMond Kottke is a recognized experienced "lenders counsel," advising both owners and lenders with a wide range of financing and loan products, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Section 8 and HUD-insured loans across the country.

"Hinshaw’s national footprint and diversity of practice areas, including tax and insurance litigation, will be really useful in supporting my practice," said DuMond Kottke. "Having lawyers in various states will greatly benefit my clients and my practice, and also provides significant growth opportunity for my practice."

L.J. Rotman, a partner in the firm's Minneapolis office and past chair of the firm's Real Estate and Construction Practice Group added: "Having worked with Amy for a number of years, I’m pleased to have her as part of our team."

DuMond Kottke began her law career at Bard and Bard, Ltd in 1994, joined Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly in 1997, and practiced at Winthrop & Weinstine for 10 years before joining Monroe Moxness Berg in 2016.
