From the beginning, much of the firm's social life was centered at Bob Flanagan's house. In addition to his elaborate Christmas parties, Flanagan also hosted what eventually developed into our annual summer party known as "The Do."

At this year's Do, we celebrated our 100th anniversary and invited more than our colleagues and spouses, but also our friends, clients, and community partners who have enriched our history and helped us meet this moment.

For , here's a flashback to Dos past and a glimpse of the memories we made at this year's centennial celebration.

We asked our team what a century of practicing law really means to them. The answers: resilience, mentorship, balance, and a lot of genuine care for each other along the way.

One attorney even compared us to Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game. We'll take it.

Turns out longevity isn't just about enduring - it's about the legacy you build together.

By all accounts, they were a study in opposites. The gregarious Bob Flanagan was a perfect complement to the quiet and reflective Jim Best.

"To be successful in this business, you either have to be awfully damn smart or awfully damn nice. I choose the latter, and I have partners like Jim Best."

For , meet our founders: James Best (1902-1966) & Robert Flanagan (1899-1974).

Where their personalities diverged, their values converged, and both succeeded on the strength of their authentic relationships. Both served their country during World War II in the Navy (Flanagan) and Marines (Best), and they even ended up owning adjacent lakefront properties on Stubbs Bay, overlooking Lake Minnetonka.

Though anecdotes will paint wildly dissimilar lives, what Best & Flanagan created is an uncommon culture of collegiality, a high-quality law practice with a personal touch, and a legacy of success.

We recently shepherded the loan documentation, real estate documentation, and closing process for a 191-unit market-rate multi-family housing project in Ramsey. Once diligence was completed, the entire process moved very quickly across the finish line with negotiation, documentation and closing completed in approximately 30 days.

At Best & Flanagan, you get the depth of experience, the clarity of thought, and the anticipation and responsiveness it takes to keep momentum on your side— backed by practical judgment and a steady commitment to your goals.

100 years in business is time enough to build some shared history.

A strong client relationship at Best & Flanagan rarely begins and ends with a single issue or transaction. For attorney Steve Kruger, depth of understanding changes the advice.

“Over that period of time with these folks, you really develop significant personal relationships that enable you to do your work a lot better.”

Our legacy is measured not only in years of practice, but in these connections that have endured across generations. Continue reading: https://bestlaw.com/rooted-in-relationships-a-century-of-showing-up-with-purpose/
