You may know us for helping our clients start, run, grow, protect, and profit, but did you know we also foster our internal relationships in the same way?
A career at Morse is one that begins with a warm and welcome ‘start,’ sees that new hires get up and ‘running’ with an in-depth onboarding and integration process, promotes ‘growth’ at every level and from every position within the firm, provides ‘protection’ in the form of excellent benefits and a work/life balance, and allows a clear path to a ‘profitable’ professional life.
But don’t take our word for it, hear what our team has to say…
“The culture at Morse is truly unique. It fosters a spirit of camaraderie where every individual eagerly extends a helping hand to their colleagues. This unwavering support creates an exceptional team dynamic, where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute. The atmosphere is one of encouragement and friendship, making Morse not just a workplace, but a community united by shared goals and mutual respect.”
Wendy Arsenault, Patent Practice Manager
“It has been clear to me since I joined the firm several years ago that Morse really cares about their employees. This comes across through providing the best benefits I’ve encountered in my career, in their approach to mentoring, and in the collaborative firm culture that is enhanced through a multitude of firm sponsored events from ski trips to lunch-and-learns.”
Dan Branson, Senior Attorney
“I feel lucky to work for a firm that cares about their employees as “family members.” The firm truly wants the BEST for each employee both personally and professionally and does everything in their power to assist in all of their employees development and growth as a person and a professional.”
Denise Caredeo, Patent Paralegal
“Considering joining Morse? You will be supported, respected, afforded flexibility, and be surrounded by talented, genuine, hard-working colleagues who care about doing the right thing.”
Lauren Dechayne, Employee Engagement Manager
“Morse is a truly collaborative environment across departments and rank. That lends itself to a workplace attitude that strives for creative solutions to any of our clients’ unique problems.”
Katelen Dunphy, Corporate Paralegal
“Working at Morse is one of the only times in my career that I’ve felt appreciated and irreplaceable. My direct managers always provide support and words of encouragement to let me know how valued I am. My coworkers are fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoy the camaraderie when we are all together.”
Kristina Fay, Patent Paralegal
“I am so happy that I chose Morse because I’ve had constant opportunities to get direct exposure to different practices of law whether it was through assignments, sitting in on client calls, or weekly lunch and learns. Morse also places a high value on community building, and this has allowed me to foster meaningful relationships with attorneys that I know will continue beyond my summer.”
Noah Francois, 2024 Morse Fellow
“After a long career at another firm it was unnerving to change lanes. I knew the second I interviewed with the Morse team that this is where I was meant to be. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. After a few years at Morse now, things have changed – for the better (if that was possible)! I’ve found my Morse colleagues have become my friends, mentors, and confidants. My personal and professional growth since starting at Morse has been incredible. I consider myself incredibly lucky to be a part of this firm!”
Angela Griffith, Patent Paralegal
“Morse has provided me with the tools needed to build a sturdy foundation early in my legal career. The firm has given me the freedom to explore my interests while simultaneously creating a space for genuine connection and mentorship.”
Shantelle Gurley, 2023 Morse Fellow
“As an attorney at Morse, I’ve found the right balance between sophisticated legal work and a culture that values real connection. I love practicing here because I get to do what I enjoy most: advising innovative startups and growth-stage companies, helping them navigate both challenges and opportunities in fast-moving industries. I feel I make a difference here—for my clients, my colleagues, and for the firm. If you’re looking for a place where you can do top-tier legal work, be part of a collegial and ambitious team, and truly enjoy the practice of law, Morse is that place.”
Joe Hunt, Member
“The best internship experience I’ve had! Morse is not just any law firm. You get a chance to do “big law” stuff in an intimate supportive setting, where your work matters. And most importantly, Morse goes above and beyond to create a diverse collaborative environment and support its employees professionally and in their everyday lives. I never thought a work family was possible until I got a chance to be part of the Morse family. Thank you! It has been a wonderful experience – engaging, challenging, and fun!”
Aijan Isakova, 2022 Morse Fellow
“As a first-generation law student, I felt apprehensive about not knowing what practicing law looked like. A summer at Morse gave me the type of confidence, insight, and experience that no amount of Internet browsing or informational chats could have.”
Minji Kim, 2021 Morse Fellow
“Morse is a great place to learn, grow, and do meaningful work alongside smart, thoughtful people. There’s a unique blend of autonomy and support—you’re encouraged to take ownership of your work, but you’re never on your own. Every team is grounded in a strong sense of collaboration and shared purpose.”
Brian McTague, Director of Business Operations
“Morse was a great place to work for my 1L summer, in large part due to the friendly and supportive attorneys and staff. I learned so much about how a law firm operates and was able to explore different practice areas through a flexible work assignment policy. I am so grateful that I worked there and look forward to staying in touch with the Morse team.”
Jesse Messmer, 2022 Morse Fellow
“Being a Fellow at Morse has been an incredible journey of learning and growth. I’ve had the opportunity to draft foundational documents for entity formation, ensuring each charter, bylaw, and resolution aligns perfectly with our clients’ needs. I’ve delved into the intricacies of commercial leases, advocating for favorable terms and conditions. My research into regulatory requirements has been pivotal in determining our clients’ obligations regarding securities broker registration. I’ve also supported our IP group with thorough copyright research, safeguarding our clients’ authorship rights. Preparing legal memoranda and briefs on complex issues for senior attorney review has truly honed my skills and expanded my legal knowledge. Excited for what lies ahead!”
Gregory Peck, 2024 Morse Fellow
“The firm’s culture, characterized by a collaborative team environment, strong mentorship, and abundant opportunities for professional growth, makes Morse an exceptional place to establish roots and build a long, successful career.”
Elizabeth Resteghini, Senior Attorney
“The opportunity to intern at Morse for my 1L summer was outstanding. I started as a 1L Fellow and within weeks became a part of something much more. I worked on substantive assignments and projects alongside the most intelligent and thoughtful group of attorneys. I gained valuable mentor relationships, knowledge, and insight into the world of lawyering. Thank you, Morse, for an unforgettable summer experience!”
Ashley Walters, 2023 Morse Fellow
“I joined Morse in its infancy over 30 years ago after spending 7 years at a “downtown” Boston firm. The practice of law was changing, and it’s continued to change ever since. While we’ve changed over the years, too, our goal has remained being a place where we have colleagues we like and respect, interesting and challenging work for sophisticated clients who appreciate us, and, last but not least, the ability to do the things we like to do outside of work. Morse has been everything I hoped it would be, and more. I don’t think I could have lasted over 30 years in this profession anywhere else.”
