Andrew Morrison

A strategic and unflappable advocate in a complex commercial dispute

Our mid-sized technology firm faced a high-stakes breach of contract and unfair competition lawsuit from a former business partner. The allegations were complex and the potential financial exposure was significant. We were referred to Andrew Morrison at Manatt, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first meeting, Andrew demonstrated a profound grasp of the commercial litigation landscape. His analysis was not just legally sound but strategically acute, immediately identifying weaknesses in the plaintiff’s case that others had missed. His background in both commercial litigation and white-collar defense was evident; he approached the dispute with the meticulous fact-finding and procedural rigor of a seasoned trial lawyer, while always keeping the broader business implications front and center. Andrew guided us through a rigorous discovery process, and his negotiation posture was firm yet pragmatic. He secured a settlement that completely protected our intellectual property and market position, avoiding a costly and distracting trial. His recognition by Best Lawyers is well-deserved. Andrew is more than just a brilliant legal mind; he is a calm, communicative partner who demystifies complex legal issues. For any business navigating litigation in New York, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
