Tim Morrison
Partner
Tim helps companies, investors, and business leaders navigate complex legal and commercial challenges with practical, actionable advice grounded in real-world business experience. What distinguishes Tim’s approach is a career spent both inside and outside the legal department and a practical understanding of the competing priorities leaders face every day. Before returning to private practice, Tim served in senior legal and executive leadership roles, working alongside CEO’s, boards, private equity sponsors, and management teams to address complex legal, operational, and strategic challenges.
Tim also serves as fractional general counsel to growing and middle-market companies that need experienced legal leadership and strategic guidance without the cost or need for a full-time chief legal officer. In that role, he partners closely with management teams to help build practical legal frameworks, manage risk, support growth initiatives, and navigate day-to-day business decisions.
Throughout Tim’s career, he has advised on corporate transactions, commercial agreements, governance matters, risk management, regulatory issues, dispute resolution, IP portfolio management, data privacy compliance, and day-to-day business operations. Tim has represented his clients in a wide range of corporate transactions including domestic and cross-border acquisitions of software companies, carve-outs of domestic and international subsidiaries, joint ventures with former competitors, 363 asset sales, a $3.5 billion debt offering and the acquisition of an aircraft leasing company and securitization of its lease portfolio of over 90 commercial aircraft.
Whether serving as outside counsel, a fractional general counsel, or a strategic advisor, Tim understands that legal advisors must be business partners and he helps his clients solve problems, seize opportunities, and achieve their goals while navigating risk thoughtfully and effectively.
