About Andrea
Andrea Morisi earned her J.D. from The George Washington University Law School in 1985. She later gained admission to practice in both Massachusetts and Virginia. Those early academic and licensing steps set the stage for a career that has crossed sectors and geographies.
Early in her career she took a significant in-house role. In 1990 she was Senior Counsel and Corporate Secretary at the American Red Cross. The position placed her at the intersection of legal oversight and organizational governance, and it required regular interaction with senior leadership and board members.
Her responsibilities at the Red Cross included matters commonly handled by corporate secretaries: preparing board materials, maintaining corporate records, and advising on governance procedures. She also worked on compliance questions and contracts that touched on the organization’s daily operations. That combination of advisory and operational work gave her experience in both transactional work and internal legal administration.
After her time with the Red Cross she continued in private practice and in advisory roles that drew on her nonprofit and corporate governance background. Over the years she has handled matters across state lines, reflecting her dual licensure in Massachusetts and Virginia. Colleagues describe her approach as steady and methodical; she tends to emphasize clear documentation and careful process.
Today she is on the roster at Farrell & Croft, PC. At the firm she represents clients who require counsel in the jurisdictions where she is licensed. Her practice involves drafting and reviewing documents, advising boards and executives, and addressing compliance issues that arise for organizations operating in those states. She is known for practical problem-solving rather than for headline litigation or public-facing controversies.
Her career path — law school in Washington, a prominent in-house role at a major nonprofit, and years in practice across two states — gives her a perspective that combines institutional and client-side viewpoints. She keeps a close eye on procedural detail and on ensuring that corporate actions are supported by solid legal documentation. She concentrates her practice on legal matters in Massachusetts and Virginia.
