Kristi Weikel is the founding attorney and managing partner of the Weikel & Boyd Law Firm, PLLC. She is experienced in a multitude of practice areas through her representation of individuals and small business owners. 

Kristi’s legal experience includes serving as a paralegal at a small and at a mid-sized law firm for several years working in the areas of product liability and insurance defense.  At both firms she gained valuable experience on large multi-party litigation cases.  She also worked as a law clerk during law school at a personal injury and estate planning Bloomington law firm. Kristi has been a paralegal educator both at the Minnesota School of Business as well as Kaplan University.  Kristi currently serves an adjunct professor at Northwestern College in St. Paul.

Kristi is an entrepreneur and educator at heart and seeks to educate her clients to bring out the entrepreneur in each business client by counseling them to fine-tune their business operationally, practically, financially and legally. Kristi brings sensible legal solutions to the table for every client she interacts with.

Kristi works most often with business owners.  She helps owners establish a Minnesota corporation or LLC, draft their initial contracts, she deals with their employment labor issues, and creates workplace polices and procedures.  She also helps the owner when they desire to sell their Minnesota Business or are looking to buy an already existing business through an asset acquisition or a stock acquisition.  She works with those people to make sure their business structure is properly set up, the right documents are in place to protect the ongoing interests of the client and that after the dust settles from the closing of the sale she sees to it that each business owner has their estate planning and real estate affairs in place.

Kristi is also actively involved in creating custom tailored workshops for employers to offer education to employees via EAP programs, investment education initiatives pursuant to ERISA or workplace trainings on legal topics like sexual harassment and discrimination.
