Paul Ebeltoft
pebeltoft@eskgb.com
Paul Ebeltoft has over 30 years of legal experience in North Dakota. He concentrates his practice within the firm’s Litigation Solutions Team and by providing litigation alternatives. Paul also works within specialized areas of the Businesses Solutions Team, the Real Estate/Mineral/Environmental Consultants Team and the Organizational Consulting Team.
Paul is a highly respected trial lawyer and frequently acts as lead or local counsel in significant litigation for regional and national clients.
Also a trained mediator and arbitrator, Paul’s background in alternative dispute resolution dates back to its earliest use in North Dakota. He is skilled in customizing mediation techniques to a variety of litigation settings.
After 31 years as shareholder and seven years as president and managing partner of a firm where the project of getting bigger seemed to occupy much of the day, Paul opened a new door. In 2009, he joined with four bright, young and very talented lawyers in starting this new law firm where the mission is to combine traditional values, expertise and an intense focus on client needs to yield progressive and sustainable solutions for today’s challenges.
Paul and his wife, Gail, live in Dickinson where together they share a commitment to their community and their family. Gail and Paul involve themselves in a variety of philanthropic organizations both in Dickinson and across the state of North Dakota. Paul and Gail have two grown sons, David and Rob, who both live and work in New York City.
