Expertise

Georgia Business Community

Attorney Morin started in the Georgia business community as the assistant for government relations and public relations at a statewide nonprofit corporation. She then accepted her first privately held, corporate gig in the law department of a multinational corporation in 2002, navigating to private practice in 2007 before entering law school in 2009. After freelancing for 14 months, in March 2013, Attorney Morin started her firm Morin Legal in the Atlanta metropolitan community, and in 2017 established her brick-and-mortar firm on the east side Atlanta BeltLine trail in the historic Old Fourth Ward.

Community Outreach & Education

Attorney Morin supports community outreach and continuing workforce education by speaking and writing on matters important to business professionals. In 2016, she partnered with ASIFA-South, Inc., to produce Business Basics for Creatives to educate small business owners about starting and maintaining a small business, identifying and managing its intellectual properties, managing employees, assembling contracts and working with others, and basic financing and exit strategies. Attorney Morin returned to teach non-lawyers again this time as an adjunct professor for Georgia State University College of Law, where she was instrumental in developing and instructed its executive education workshops for the Entertainment, Sports, & Media Law Initiative.
