The View from the 17th Floor: Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly And Its 111-Year History
Author: Virginia L. Martin
The Oppenheimer law firm, now headquartered in Minneapolis, began in St. Paul in 1886 as the partnership Lawler & Durment. William Oppenheimer joined in 1914 and eventually led the firm’s transformation into one of the area’s top firms for the next hundred years. As we follow the firm’s course there are memorable names and stories: Charlie Ward of Brown & Bigelow; St. Paul Fire & Marine; the building of the new city hall in the 1930s; the Toni Company; Twin Cities Rapid Transit; Control Data; and the firm’s expansion to international offices and markets.
