Lorri Staal
Executive DirectorAfter a two-decade career as a lawyer with corporate New York law firms, Lorri served as Vice President of Operations at JND Legal Administration, following her role as Vice President of Client Services at EPIQ, a global provider of legal administration services. Alongside her legal career, Lorri has engaged in deeply meaningful volunteer work with several organizations that align with MOR’s mission. Among these, she has served as pro bono in-house counsel to the Seattle Symphony and co-founded anti-bias organization, Shamor, which worked with school districts to develop protocols to respond to bias and discrimination, organized community events with elected officials and NGOs, and built coalitions among at-risk communities to raise awareness and encourage mutual support. She was selected as an inaugural member of the Unified Long Island Task Force, formed by two county chief executives to empower communities to fight discrimination. Lorri attended Cornell University, where she studied history and violin performance, and then Northwestern Pritzker Law School. Although a New Yorker by birth and in spirit, Lorri moved to Seattle in 2020 and pivoted her career to focus fully on mission-driven work. In her free time, Lorri plays violin with local ensembles when she is not biking or hiking.
