Joseph M. Windler

My Approach

The business world is complex, and it is the rare case that it has a rigid, black-and-white answer. Together, I work with clients to determine what a win means for them individually, and develop a strategy and a plan to achieve that goal. I am driven by the advocacy of working on behalf of my clients, helping them get from point A to point B, and solve their problems along the way. I thrive on the adrenaline of litigation, and will run through any wall to help my clients. I am a fierce advocate, and my clients rely on me to assist in their most serious matters.

I was elevated to partner at Winthrop & Weinstine after six years of practice. I have been recognized as a Rising Star by Minnesota Super Lawyers every year since 2011. I am a trial attorney who has significant experience in assisting clients in litigation, regulatory, and business and employment matters. I help clients navigate all aspects of their business problems.

I am the Chair of the firm’s Recruiting Committee, and also serve on the Diversity Committee and as an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota Law School.

My wife and I live in Edina, Minnesota, with our son and daughter. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, fishing, running and watching sports.
