Meet Louise Morris. She’s a rare third-Generation bird, born of both law and property, and you’ll soon understand why she’s been awarded in both these areas of practise. She’s an experienced, trusted lawyer and business owner as principal and director of Morris Legal Group, but she’s also an advisor, a community advocate, and the only Canberra-based property and construction lawyer who also has hands-on experience developing large scale mixed-use, commercial and residential developments.
More casually, I’ve known Louise since we were buying carob buds at the Girls’ Grammar tuck shop. She’s an original client of our studio, one of my fiercest champions in business, and we’ve found such a mutually enjoyable friendship as our professional lives have blossomed and intertwined over the last 20 years.
You’ll hear us talk about Louise’s push for change in the legal industry, embracing digital transformation and challenging traditional practices such as billable hours, time recording, and unlimited leave. She shares her thoughts on the importance of creativity within the practise and interpretation of the law, and her experience in sharing and building knowledge with her peers.
When she’s not doing deals, Louise is active in promoting Canberra on the national stage, as well as supporting community, the arts and sport through Lifeline Canberra, Salon Canberra and by sponsoring ACT-based professional athletes to compete internationally.
If we didn’t love her enough already, Louise is an avid handknitter and sewist, and wait for it, a registered amateur kickboxing referee. She’s also restoring a mid-century modern home in the world’s longest and most dramatic renovation of all time.
