Gabrielle Kolb

Gabrielle Kolb joined Gustafson Gluek PLLC as an associate in the Fall of 2024 after completing a clerkship at the Minnesota Supreme Court with the Honorable Chief Justice Natalie E. Hudson.  Gabrielle will be assisting the Gustafson Gluek team in representing individuals and small businesses in holding corporations and other entities liable for antitrust, consumer protection, and data breach violations among other things. 

Gabrielle is already involved in some of the Firm’s high profile antitrust cases, including In re Passenger Vehicle Replacement Tires Antitrust Litig. (N.D. Ohio), in which the Firm has been named Co-Lead Counsel.  Gabrielle will be working with the Gustafson Gluek team in representing a proposed class of automobile dealerships and other reseller plaintiffs who purchased tires from defendants. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants conspired to fix and maintain the price of replacement tires in violation of the antitrust laws and resulting in harm to the plaintiffs and the proposed class.  Gabrielle will also be working on the In re Granulated Sugar Antitrust Litig. (D. Minn.), in which the Firm represents purchasers of granulated sugar, who are alleging that the Defendants—the largest players in the domestic Granulated Sugar market—engaged in anticompetitive conduct, including the exchange of information (directly and indirectly) regarding prices, crop sizes, crop yields, capacity, demand, sales volume and other key competitively-sensitive metrics in order to artificially fix prices at supracompetitive levels. These are just a few of the cases which Gabrielle will be working on.

Gabrielle earned her J.D., summa cum laude, from the University of St. Thomas School of Law, where she received numerous Dean’s Awards for her academic excellence, including in the doctrinal courses of Property Law, Criminal Law, and Evidence. In law school, Gabrielle served as the Membership Editor of the St. Thomas Law Review and mentored fellow classmates through the Women’s Law Student Association. She also represented families in the law school’s Special Education Clinic and volunteered teaching local middle schoolers about legal concepts through the Street Law program.

Gabrielle holds a B.A., summa cum laude, from the University of Puget Sound, where she majored in Politics and Government and minored in Religious Studies. After completing her undergraduate degree in Washington, Gabrielle decided to return home to Minnesota.

She lives with her partner in South Minneapolis, where she enjoys throwing ceramics at a local studio, attempting to grow food in her backyard garden, and taking strolls to her neighborhood Dairy Queen.
