Cynthia Morgan-Reed, Founder & CEO at Vanst Law
Cynthia Morgan-Reed founded Vanst Law, a virtual
law firm, in 2018. Ms. Morgan-Reed founded Vanst because she believes strongly
that every person should be paid what they are worth. Vanst pays partner-level
attorneys at least 70% of their collectibles. It also provides a great culture
based on equity, transparency, and consistency. By being virtual, Vanst cuts out
the bloated overhead costs of traditional law firm models and passes on those
savings to its clients and attorneys. In its first year of operation, Vanst grew
500% in 10 months. This year, Vanst Law won the 2019 Reisman Award for Best New
Law Firm. Ms. Morgan-Reed lives in San Diego with her husband, young children,
and their well-neglected and well-loved dog. She graduated from the University
of Notre Dame Law School.
