Today, Morris provides counsel to debtors, litigation trustees, creditors, creditors' committees, bondholders, purchasers of assets, and other parties involved in bankruptcy cases in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, real estate, technology, and financial services.

Morris spent 12 years in the Business Finance and Restructuring Group of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP (the last four as a partner) before leaving to serve as in-house counsel at public and private companies, including a commercial bank, and a brokerage firm. Later, Morris became an investment banker, serving as managing director at a boutique broker-dealer that raised more than $1.3 billion in equity capital for various technology companies (including wireless spectrum) and for a winery.
