About Sylvia
Sylvia Strobel pairs formal business training with courtroom credentials. She holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Business and is admitted to practice before the Federal Circuit as well as in Minnesota and Pennsylvania. That combination shapes how she approaches disputes and client counsel.
Her graduate work in business adds practical perspective to legal problem solving. The Carlson School MBA sharpened her familiarity with corporate structures, financial analysis and strategic planning. She applies that background when evaluating claims, preparing briefs and advising clients on risk and cost considerations. The MBA is part of how she frames legal issues in business terms.
Strobel’s bar admissions give her reach across state and federal fora. Admission to the Federal Circuit allows her to handle appeals at a national level, while her licenses in Minnesota and Pennsylvania enable representation in both state trial courts and their appellate branches. Those credentials support work that can cross jurisdictions and involve procedural complexity.
Her work often brings legal and commercial questions into the same room. She regularly addresses procedural strategy, evidentiary issues and the practical demands of litigation timelines. She has experience drafting briefs, managing discovery disputes and preparing clients for hearings and depositions. Those activities are informed by an emphasis on clarity and on laying out options for clients so they can make informed decisions about settlement, trial or appeal.
Colleagues describe her approach as methodical and pragmatic. She prefers clear explanations over legalese. She aims to present risk assessments that business leaders can use, not just legal theories. In court filings she emphasizes organization and direct argumentation; in client meetings she tends to translate legal implications into business consequences.
She practices at Lehmann Strobel PC, where she handles matters that involve both commercial considerations and appellate review. Her current practice concentrates on business-related litigation and appeals in federal and state courts.
