The National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) has appointed Minnesota Assistant Attorney General Elizabeth Odette as chair of the national Multistate Antitrust Task Force. The announcement was made by the current NAAG Antitrust Committee co-chairs, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser and Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison expressed his confidence in Ms. Odette's capabilities. “Robust enforcement of our antitrust laws is an important piece of helping people afford their lives, and there is nobody I trust more to lead NAAG’s bipartisan Antitrust Task Force than Elizabeth Odette,” he stated. He highlighted her significant impact on law, public policy, and the lives of Minnesotans during her tenure at his office.

Ms. Odette joined the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office in April 2020 and was appointed as the first manager of its new Antitrust Division in September 2023. Her previous experience includes serving as an associate and partner at Lockridge Grindal Nauen P.L.L.P in Minneapolis. Additionally, she has volunteered as a pro-bono attorney at the Children’s Law Center for 14 years, representing youth clients in foster care cases.

The Minnesota Attorney General's Office emphasizes diversity and equal opportunity employment.
