Brendan V. Johnson

Brendan Johnson is a nationally recognized trial lawyer and former United States Attorney who represents businesses, institutions, and individuals in consequential disputes and investigations across the country. Clients turn to Brendan when the stakes are significant, the facts are complex, and trial readiness matters. He has been recognized by Forbes as one of America's Top 200 Lawyers and has earned national recognition for his work as a trial lawyer, investigator, and advocate.

Before joining Robins Kaplan, Brendan served as the United States Attorney for the District of South Dakota, where he led federal prosecutions and investigations involving financial fraud, public corruption, violent crime, and significant regulatory matters. That experience continues to inform his work in government investigations, internal investigations, financial fraud matters, and other high-profile disputes involving allegations of misconduct.

Business, Financial Services & High-Stakes Litigation

As Chair of the firm's National Business Litigation Group, Brendan handles complex business litigation for public and private companies. His recent work includes serving as lead trial counsel in a financial-services business dispute that resulted in a ten-figure arbitration award. Clients turn to him to handle:

• Complex business disputes nationwide.
• Financial fraud, shareholder disputes, and class actions.
• Matters involving substantial financial exposure and reputational risk.

Government Investigations, Internal Investigations & White Collar Defense

Brendan is routinely called upon to handle matters involving substantial financial exposure, reputational risk, and issues of public importance. Some examples of this work include:

• Representing clients in government investigations and internal investigations.
• High-profile disputes involving allegations of misconduct.
• Extensive experience on financial fraud and regulatory matters.

Significant Contingency and Plaintiff Recoveries

A major portion of Brendan's practice involves high-stakes contingency representations, for clients who seek not only exceptional advocacy, but a lawyer willing to invest alongside them in the pursuit of a successful outcome. His experience handling both plaintiff-side and defense-side matters sharpens how he evaluates risk and positions cases for trial or resolution.

Catastrophic Injury Trial Counsel

Lawyers across South Dakota refer their most serious injury cases to Brendan when a matter is headed for trial. 

• He serves as trial counsel in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases.
• He tries medical malpractice claims, including matters that reach a jury verdict.
• He welcomes co-counsel and referral arrangements with lawyers across the region.

A Trial Lawyer's Approach

Known for his ability to simplify complex facts and develop persuasive narratives, Brendan is frequently retained for matters expected to proceed to trial or requiring sophisticated strategic judgment. He approaches every case with the mindset of a trial lawyer, preparing matters from day one as though they will ultimately be decided by a judge, jury, or arbitrator.

Whether representing a family affected by a catastrophic loss, a company facing a bet-the-company dispute, an executive navigating an investigation, or a business pursuing a significant financial recovery, Brendan brings the same approach to every engagement: understand the facts, develop the strongest possible strategy, prepare relentlessly, and be ready to try the case.

Brendan serves on the firm's Executive Board and is Chair of the National Business Litigation Group, Co-Chair of the Government and Internal Investigations Group, and Hiring Partner in Minneapolis.
