BRING YOUR BULLDOG!
Terry earned his reputation as a “bulldog lawyer” by being aggressive, tenacious, and practical. He has successfully taken on major league adversaries including big oil, big pharma, and big government, in both litigation and transactions. Over the past 30 years, he has won more than $150 million for his clients.
He’s especially good at handling business partner disputes. He’s the author of two books, Big Force Negotiation, and The Bulldog Guide to Business Partnerships.
Terry advises business clients in a variety of sectors, with concentrations in oilfield services, media, sports, health care, and real estate.
Terry has owned and operated successful radio properties, a professional hockey league, and a real estate investment company. This unique experience, in both law and business, gives him the specialized skills to solve disruptive business problems, from litigation to transactions to multi-party workouts.
He can also help with critical financing, transactions, and real estate matters, as well as more routine business documents like leases, sales agreements, and employment contracts.
Terry is licensed to practice in Minnesota and North Dakota. He’s also a popular speaker and seminar leader on business issues. To listen to his weekly podcast, “Moore About the World,” click here.
