About Roach Business Law

We Are Committed: You & Your Business Are Our Priority

At Roach Business Law, we appreciate that your business needs to be successful and secure. Located in Edina, Minnesota, our law firm provides practical and business-minded legal services to clients throughout the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area and beyond. Whether you are a startup company just getting established, a growing business entering the next phase of development, or an established organization with significant and complex transactions, Roach Business Law will be there to serve as your legal partner at each step of the way.

Who We Are: A Business-Focused Law Firm

Roach Business Law was built on one fundamental principle: to offer legal guidance that provides true value to our clients’ businesses. Instead of acting as a far away consultant, we work through an Outsourced General Counsel structure-becoming a part of your management team. This means that by getting to know your company’s objectives, challenges, and operations, we can ensure our advice is always relevant and tailored to you. We bring more than 30 years of experience to the practice of law, and our firm is differentiated by its business-first mindset and providing practical, real world solutions.

What We Do: Practical Solutions, Real Results

At Roach Business Law, for every company we support, we align our mission with your success. We work with small and mid-sized businesses, providing them with a full spectrum of legal counsel directed to organizational development and preservation-from handling the routine to addressing the complex. We advise on strategic issues, positioning you to confidently seize opportunities, while mitigating risk across your organization.

We act as an extension of your team to design aligned legal strategies that promote the success of your business. To that end, we offer strategic counsel with a business-minded approach, structuring the scope of our services in line with your organizational goals. Whether preventive advice or litigation services, we will be a partner you can count on year after year.

The Roach Business Law Advantage

What makes Roach Business Law different is our client focus and hands-on approach. We pride ourselves on being an integral part of our client’s business, so we cultivate seamless and effective attorney/client communication and client-service oriented relationships. Our Outsourced General Counsel model allows clients to keep a trusted seasoned legal professional on their team-there to help analyze issues as they arise and identify problems before they develop. We are noted for our responsiveness by returning all clients’ communications within a 24 hour period and versatility in being able to address a full range of business legal issues from day-to-day business matters to sophisticated corporate transactions.
