She has since held several leadership positions within the firm, including serving as Sacramento's office managing partner, Facilities and Business Practice Group co-chair, and a member of the firm's Organizational Learning Committee. Her practice areas include labor and employment, charter schools, facilities and business, and litigation. Megan was the lead attorney in the ground-breaking case of Anderson Union High School District v. Shasta Secondary Home School.
Tom Manniello
