Making a difference since the dawn of employment law.
In 1923, Boston attorney John W. Morgan recognized the emerging legislative trends that would ultimately reshape the American employment landscape. That year, he and his partners founded what is now Morgan, Brown & Joy, beginning a legacy of legal innovation and excellence that has lasted nearly a century.
Legislation in the 1930s, including the Norris-LaGuardia Act and the Wagner Act, expanded the field of labor law—and the client roster at Morgan, Brown & Joy. The firm continued to grow throughout the 1940s and 1950s, serving clients in diverse industries, including retail, public utilities, manufacturing, higher education, transportation, and more.
This set the pattern for the 1960s and 1970s, as the firm continued to expand in response to new legislation in the areas of civil rights, occupational health and safety, and pension protection.
In recent years, the field of employment law has become increasingly complex with new legislation and an economy transformed by digital technology. Throughout it all, the team at Morgan, Brown & Joy has remained at the forefront of change, developing innovative strategies to help clients reduce their legal and financial risk.
