Alex Frescoln

I am a Minneapolis-based business attorney who works with startups, project developers, and established companies launching new ventures. I provide practical legal guidance to help clients build innovative businesses, develop new projects, and seize market opportunities. Whether you’re launching a startup company, creating a clean energy project, or expanding your business into a new industry, I offer the legal support you need to move forward with confidence. 

My legal services are tailored to the needs of early-stage ventures and high-growth businesses. I assist with forming new business entities, raising venture capital and debt financing, complying with securities laws, drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, managing supply chain risk, and developing new facilities. As a Minneapolis business lawyer with a focus on emerging markets, I help clients strategically raise and deploy capital. 

Before practicing law, I worked in business operations as a commodity trader, international business development manager, and supply chain planner. At a food ingredients manufacturing company, I led the development and sales of co-product lines, helping the business grow from a small family operation into a leader in the plant-based protein market. These real-world experiences give me unique insight into financial markets, growth strategies, and operational risk – insights I bring to my legal practice. 

My clients benefit from my ability to blend strategic legal counsel with an understanding of the challenges startups and project developers face. I regularly advise clients in the SaaS, CleanTech, EnergyTech, AgTech, FoodTech, and Renewable Energy sectors. From entity formation to fundraising and project execution, I help businesses mitigate legal and contractual risks while scaling efficiently. 

Outside of work, I enjoy cheering for the Iowa Hawkeyes, reading science fiction, playing strategy games, and visiting local breweries with my wife, son, and friends.
