Experience
Aimée D. Dayhoff is a shareholder at Winthrop & Weinstine, P.A., and a member of the firm’s Business & Commercial Litigation and Employment groups. She actively counsels clients in business litigation, employment law litigation, insurance and construction litigation, and a variety of general business matters related to bankruptcy and creditor workouts.
Initially drawn to the law because of her desire to advocate for people, Aimée's expertise, straightforward communication style and ability to keep clients updated on relevant issues in their cases makes her very valuable to clients, which run the gamut from thoroughbred horse trainers to high-level executives at
Fortune 500 companies.
In addition to business litigation, Aimée frequently represents privately held companies in disputes arising from breach of contract, discrimination, harassment, non-compete or retaliation claims. She also represents executive level employees in such matters. Her experience in business and employment litigation has evolved to include foreclosure and receivership work in the banking industry.
Aimée is not only an active leader in the courtroom, but at the firm and in the community, as well. She serves as a firm representative for the Law Firm Alliance, a network of law firms located throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and the European Union. She represents Minnesota, is one of the youngest members of the group, and is one of four women representatives. Within the firm, Aimée currently has leadership positions on the Diversity Committee, Community Service Committee, Marketing Committee and Recruiting Committee.
Within the community, Aimée is currently serving a four-year term on the Minnesota Humanities Center Board of Directors, an organization that provides professional development opportunities and educational resources. Aimée is also serving as a member of the planning committee for the Washburn Games, a family-focused event to raise funds and awareness of children’s mental health.
Two of Aimée’s passions include mentoring students and promoting women in the workplace. She partners with William Mitchell College of Law, her alma mater, to mentor young women each year; and has become involved with the Women’s Leadership Council, a part of the United Way. She is also an active participant in the Hennepin County Bar Association Mentoring Program as well as the Winthrop & Weinstine Minority Mentorship Program with the University of Minnesota Law School.
Because of her work at the firm and in the community, Aimée was selected as an "Up & Coming Attorney" by
Minnesota Lawyer magazine in 2008, and as one of the
Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal’s “40 Under Forty” recipients for 2011.
