About Nicholas
Nicholas Adams is an attorney admitted to practice in Minnesota. He earned a J.D. from Mitchell Hamline School of Law in 2019 after completing a B.A. in Political Science at Concordia College, Moorhead, in 2016. He moved quickly from law student to practitioner, entering private practice the year he graduated.
His undergraduate study at Concordia provided a grounding in political systems and public policy. At Mitchell Hamline, he pursued the standard three-year course of study and completed his degree in 2019. Classwork and clinic opportunities there gave him exposure to legal research, writing, and courtroom procedure.
After law school he joined Pemberton Law as an associate in 2019. That role marked his first professional posting. As an associate he worked alongside more senior attorneys on matters handled by the firm. He spent those early years building procedural knowledge and courtroom experience.
In practice he performs many of the tasks central to associate-level work. He conducts legal research, drafts pleadings and motions, prepares court filings, and assists in discovery. He also meets with clients, helps prepare cases for hearings, and supports trial preparation when matters proceed to court. Colleagues describe him as steady in litigation preparation and attentive to case detail.
Adams’s license to practice in Minnesota places him within the state’s court system and administrative processes. His day-to-day practice takes place at Pemberton Law, where he handles assignments across the firm’s portfolio. He navigates deadlines and filing requirements for state matters and represents clients at various stages of dispute resolution.
He continues to work at Pemberton Law, where his practice centers on the responsibilities typical of an associate attorney: advising clients on procedural matters, drafting core litigation documents, and supporting courtroom work. He focuses his current practice on serving clients through the firm’s cases in Minnesota.
