About Zachary
Zachary Aaker earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Grinnell College in 2007 and a Juris Doctor from the University of Minnesota Law School in 2011. He arrived in the legal field after a traditional liberal arts undergraduate program and four years of law school. The chronology of his training shaped an approach that balances detailed historical thinking with practical legal training.
He began his professional career in 2011 as an associate at Cundy & Martin, LLC. In that role he handled research and drafting assignments and assisted on matters that required close attention to procedural and factual detail. The work demanded steady document review, motion preparation, and coordination with more senior lawyers.
In 2012 he accepted a position as a project lawyer at Robins Kaplan, then known as Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi. There he took on project-based responsibilities, contributing to teams that needed scalable legal support. The change exposed him to large-firm practices, including structured workflows for discovery and collaborative approaches to case management.
Those early years left him comfortable in both small-firm and large-firm settings. He has experience in legal research, drafting pleadings and memoranda, and supporting discovery efforts. He has worked on discrete projects as well as ongoing matters. Colleagues describe him as methodical in the way he prepares materials and attentive when managing schedules and deadlines.
Aaker is admitted to practice in Minnesota. He maintains professional ties in the region and participates in legal work that keeps him engaged with local courts and practitioners. Public records list Cundy & Martin, LLC as an office associated with him.
He practices at Cundy & Martin, LLC, where his work includes project-based assignments and associate-level responsibilities.
