Allison Fabyanske Eklund has been practicing law in Minnesota since 1998. After almost a decade in litigation and a national practice in Federal Indian law, she started Eklund Law, PC in 2007 to combine professional experience with personal interest in horses and contacts in the horse industry. Her exposure to a broad variety of legal issues supports a diverse solo practice focusing on equine public policy and business law as well as estate planning and legacy lands. Since 2006, Ms. Eklund has offered award-winning estate planning presentations for landowners in collaboration with the University of Minnesota Extension. Her experience in equine land use issues has led to successes in Minnesota tax court, zoning and conditional use permit disputes. As attorney for the Minnesota Horse Council, Ms. Eklund has been instrumental in passing property tax, land use, and agricultural legislation favorable to horse owners and equine businesses. She has formed numerous equine nonprofit organizations, including the Minnesota Stable Owners Association, MQHA Foundation, and MHC Foundation. On behalf of the Minnesota Horse Council and its related nonprofits, Ms. Eklund works to encourage best practices as well as to educate and inspire the public about the benefits and enjoyment of working with horses.
