New additions reflect continued investment in priority practices and the next generation of Morris James attorneys.
Morris James LLP continues to invest in the firm's future, welcoming three new hires to its Delaware Personal Injury Law and Corporate/M&A practices as part of a strategy to expand established services, build emerging practices, and develop the next generation of attorneys.
Lauren Crawford and Jason Saville join the firm's Personal Injury practice, adding capacity to one of the firm's established areas of legal service. Angelina Han joins the firm's Corporate/M&A practice as a law clerk pending admission to the bar, supporting the continued development of the firm's corporate transactional practice.
Together, these additions reflect two important priorities for Morris James: strengthening the resources available to serve individuals and families pursuing injury claims, and building the depth of its Corporate/M&A practice to serve the evolving needs of businesses and their owners.
"Growth isn't simply about adding attorneys. It's about making deliberate investments in practices where we see opportunity and where our clients' needs are evolving," said Keith Donovan, Managing Partner of Morris James. “These additions reflect our commitment to strengthening established practices, expanding our corporate transactions work, and developing the next generation of lawyers who will help drive Morris James forward.”
The firm's investment in emerging talent extends beyond recruitment. Both Angelina and Jason previously worked at Morris James and chose to return as they began the next phase of their legal careers. Their return, along with Lauren's arrival after a Delaware Superior Court clerkship, reflects the firm's focus on attracting promising lawyers and providing opportunities for long-term professional development.
"There's something particularly rewarding about welcoming back lawyers who have experienced Morris James firsthand and see their future here," said Jennifer Lucas-Ross, Director of Attorney Recruiting and Professional Development. "Lauren, Angelina, and Jason each bring impressive credentials, valuable perspectives, and the potential to make important contributions to our clients and our firm. We're intentional about creating an environment where talented lawyers can do substantive work, learn from experienced colleagues, and build fulfilling careers. Their decision to join us is a vote of confidence in that commitment, and one we intend to earn."
Lauren Crawford joins the Personal Injury practice as an Associate following a judicial clerkship with the Honorable Mark H. Conner of the Delaware Superior Court. Previously, she worked at a regional commercial litigation boutique, where she gained experience in litigation, case preparation, discovery, and legal research. Lauren earned her J.D., cum laude, from Delaware Law School and graduated in the top 13% of her class. She also holds bachelor's degrees in political science and Spanish from Temple University.
Angelina Han joins the Corporate/M&A practice as a law clerk pending admission to the bar. A former Morris James summer associate, she previously worked across several of the firm's practices, including business transactions, bankruptcy, and corporate litigation. Angelina earned her J.D., cum laude, from William & Mary Law School, where she served as an article editor of the William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal and president of the Transactional Law Team. She holds a bachelor's degree in geology and economics, cum laude, from Amherst College. She also has experience in intellectual property and healthcare law.
Jason Saville joins the Personal Injury practice as an Associate after previously working with Morris James as a summer law clerk, gaining experience across multiple practice areas, including personal injury, corporate litigation, bankruptcy, and business transactions. He also served as a judicial intern to the Honorable Jan R. Jurden of the Delaware Superior Court. Jason attended Brooklyn Law School, where he participated in the Brooklyn Journal of International Law and the Trial Division of the Moot Court Honor Society. He earned his bachelor's degree in chemistry from Villanova University.
For Morris James, investing in the next generation of attorneys is central to building a firm that continues to evolve alongside its clients. With deep roots in Delaware and a growing range of services, Morris James is investing in the practices that define its work today and the lawyers who will shape its future.
