Emily Fox Williams has practiced law since 1999, advising individuals, families, closely held businesses, and nonprofit organizations on a wide range of estate planning and business law matters. She brings a disciplined, practical approach to her work and is known for providing clear, timely guidance across both routine and highly nuanced issues.
Emily’s business practice includes for‑profit and non-profit entity formation; shareholder, buy/sell, and operating agreements; business succession planning; contract negotiation; employment law considerations for small and mid‑sized businesses; commercial leases; and asset and stock purchase transactions. She regularly assists clients with mergers, sales, and structural transitions, offering steady, strategic support from initial planning through closing.
In her estate planning practice, Emily drafts wills, trust agreements, and related planning documents tailored to each client’s personal, family, and business landscape. Her cross‑disciplinary background allows her to identify how business decisions affect personal planning, and vice versa, giving clients cohesive, forward‑looking solutions.
Emily is licensed to practice in Minnesota and Iowa and works primarily out of the firm’s Lakeville office. Clients value her responsiveness, practical clarity, and ability to make complex issues feel manageable.
