After completing her undergraduate degree, Morgan sought a career that would empower employers to navigate complex rules and regulations while fostering positive relationships with their workforce. Her journey led her to Ruder Ware, where she initially served as a legal assistant. As she contemplated law school, Morgan gained valuable insights into employment law. Later, as a summer associate, she assisted on working with HR professionals and business owners regarding employee relations. Now, she’s dedicated to helping businesses thrive by ensuring compliance and promoting healthy employer-employee dynamics.

At Ruder Ware, Morgan will:

• Counsel employers on every aspect of federal and state employment laws, including laws regarding drug and alcohol testing, background checks, employee privacy, wrongful discharge, antidiscrimination, anti-harassment, plant closing and mass lay-off, family medical leave, and reasonable accommodation.
• Reviews employer wage and hour practices including, exempt/non-exempt position classifications, meal/rest break practices, off the clock and record keeping issues.
• Drafts employee handbooks, separation agreements, disciplinary memoranda, affirmative action plans, employment contracts, non-compete agreements and independent contractor agreements.

When Morgan isn’t immersed in administrative law changes, she enjoys downtime with her fiancé and their goldendoodle, Ripley. Morgan enjoys boating and relaxing up north or baking (her signature bake is a classic cheesecake with an Oreo cookie crust). Her perfect day ends with a piece of fiction in hand, near a body of water.
