also known as Morgan Blythe Shapiro
For more than 10 years, I was the lawyer inside the business. As in-house general counsel at global companies, I learned that good legal advice has to fit how a business actually runs: what the deal is worth, what the risk really is, and what the owner needs to decide by Friday.
I’ve also built businesses of my own, so I know what it feels like to open a legal invoice and have no idea what you paid for. I started Understory Advising to offer something different: practical counsel for founder-led businesses, on flat fees and monthly retainers, with no billable hours.
The name comes from the forest understory, the layer beneath the canopy that keeps the whole system healthy. That’s how I see good legal work: mostly unseen, steady, and there before you need it.
If you have a contract on your desk or a question you’ve been putting off, book a free 30-minute call.
