Libby Kantner is an associate at Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, practicing in the area of public finance. Libby joined Kennedy & Graven in 2021.

Born and raised in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Libby attended Hamline University where she received her B.A. degree in political science and women’s studies.

Following graduation, Libby worked in local government for several years. Libby worked for two different city councilmembers in the City of Saint Paul and for Saint Paul’s Department of Human Rights and Equal Economic Opportunity. Working for the City, Libby found she was passionate about city issues and admired the positive impact that city governments can have on their communities. Looking to acquire additional tools to serve cities, Libby returned to school, attending Mitchell Hamline School of Law and graduating in 2021 magna cum laude.

While in Law School, Libby worked as a law clerk at the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office, the Ramsey County Public Defender’s Office, the law office of Jeff Anderson and Associates and at Kennedy & Graven, in the municipal law division. She is excited to rejoin the Kennedy & Graven team in the public finance division.

Libby lives in Saint Paul with her fiancé and their rambunctious mutt. Her other interests include trying new restaurants, exploring Minnesota State Parks, and binging a variety of podcasts.

Libby has this to say about Kennedy & Graven:
Kennedy & Graven provides unparalleled legal services to their clients. The expert team is responsive, humble, and dedicated to supporting local government. I witnessed this firsthand when I clerked at the firm and I was delighted when I got the opportunity to come back. Great government requires great legal advice; and that is what we do here.
