‘Mr. Morten’s career began as a transactional associate affording him significant experience in business, corporate, and commercial transactions. He then transitioned to litigation at a busy complex business litigation firm in Irvine, giving him a tremendous amount of litigation and trial experience. Thereafter worked as Assistant General Counsel of a multinational billion dollar plus privately held corporation, and was the founding partner of Morten & Fairchild, PC, a boutique business and estate planning law firm.’
He obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and Business Administration from the University of Arizona in 2002 and came back to Orange County to earn his Juris Doctorate and LLM in Taxation, on a Dean’s Scholarship from The Chapman University Fowler School of Law in 2006 and 2007, respectively.
Whether he is advising large businesses looking to mitigate risk, protecting an owner’s intellectual property interests, or taking a rough idea for a business venture and making it a profitable reality, Mr. Morten provides personal, warm, and practical counsel to each of his clients.
Mr. Morten’s clients often refer to him as “counselor,” because rather than simply getting the services of a dry, detached Neutral, they understand and appreciate that they are in a partnership with a trusted friend who boasts an impressive combination of business and legal acumen, and who will competently and confidently advise them on how to achieve better productivity, growth, and peace of mind with a creative solution.
