In her commercial litigation practice, Molly represents for profit and non-profit business entities in various business disputes alleging breach of contract, negligence, and numerous state and federal statutory claims.

“I enjoy practicing law because every day is challenging and offers the opportunity to analyze and resolve complex and unique legal issues – while collaborating with a diverse range of individuals, each with their own goals, needs, and strategies. I am especially energized by working with people across the business spectrum – both for profit and not for profit – and learning about their industries.  I find purpose in empowering my clients to feel confident in their business decisions impacting their employees, crafting and presenting strong legal arguments, and ultimately achieving the best possible outcomes based on the relevant facts and my clients’ risk tolerance.”

Outside the office, Molly spends most of her time as her daughters’ biggest fan on the sidelines of a soccer or lacrosse field or in the stands of a basketball court, or hockey rink, exploring the sites in the National Park System, gardening, and raising her chickens.
