Taft Minneapolis Partner-in-Charge Justin Weinberg was recently quoted in the National Law Review article, “How to Improve Cities After COVID-19: What to Know About the Revitalizing Downtowns Act.” The article covers how federal tax credits help unused office space redevelopment and how investing in affordable housing can help with the current labor shortage.

Weinberg and the Taft Minneapolis leadership team participate in a law firm strategic coalition to rejuvenate Minneapolis’ downtown. In 2021, Taft Minneapolis renovated its own office space to better support a modern and collaborative environment for attorneys and staff.

Weinberg serves as partner-in-charge of Taft Minneapolis and as outside general counsel to a variety of clients and industries; however, the majority of his work arises from real estate development and construction. In addition, he serves many clients in the areas of liquor licensing, regulatory issues, and hospitality. During the last recession, Weinberg shifted his focus to representing banks and institutional lenders in workouts, lender liability, and foreclosures – a practice Weinberg continues to maintain.
