Meet Haley Morrison, a Portland-based litigator at Epstein Becker Green with a thriving California practice.

In this one-on-one interview, Haley sits down with fellow Epstein Becker Green attorney George Whipple and shares how her client-first approach—prioritizing resolution over courtroom battles—has saved businesses time, money, and relationships.

In one notable example involving the theft of a client’s intellectual property (IP), Haley avoided litigation by speaking directly with the defendant’s General Counsel, quickly securing a declaration that the stolen IP had been removed from the defendant’s information systems and saving her client significant time and expense.

From resolving high-stakes IP disputes with a phone call to addressing post-COVID-19 workplace mental health challenges, Haley’s strategies focus on empathy, problem-solving, and avoiding unnecessary litigation. Her philosophy? Litigation should be the last resort.

This conversation offers valuable insights into modern legal challenges and how innovative, people-centered solutions can create better outcomes for businesses and employees alike.
