More About Don McNeil

Donald R. McNeil is known for bringing experience, tenacity and ingenuity to his work as a mediator and arbitrator. “I always recommend mediation before going to arbitration or trial, with a limited number of exceptions, and you will find that judges in this state require a settlement conference. Studies have shown that 80-85% of cases will find a way to settle.” His work as a mediator resulted in being nominated and accepted to the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals. 

He is also on the roster of Rule 114 Neutrals in Minnesota and a frequent speaker on mediation topics. Don also maintains a law practice and regularly appears before FINRA, where he represents customers, as well as registered representatives in employment and regulatory matters. Don is also a FINRA arbitrator. He is a recognized authority on matters pertaining to securities arbitration. 

For more than three decades, McNeil represented parties in business lawsuits and arbitration, including non-competition matters, closely held shareholder disputes, collection disputes, management disputes, discrimination lawsuits, real estate matters, commercial landlord tenant matters, officer and director litigation, and regulatory issues. The Minnesota Law and Politics magazine recognizes Don as a SuperLawyer and Top 40 Business Litigator. He received the top rating possible from a national legal reviewer. Don is also a Minnesota State Bar Association Certified Civil Trial Specialist.
