In Memoriam: Remembering Our Partner Megan E. O’Connor

It is with profound sadness that we announce the recent passing of our colleague, friend and esteemed partner Megan E. O’Connor.

Megan joined Gibney in 2006. For 20 years, Megan was a cornerstone of our firm. As a partner, she was an integral part of the Immigration Practice Group’s growth and success and, more recently, she served as a member of the firm’s Management Committee. She approached her practice with a rare, pragmatic lawyering skill – sharp, grounded, and always focused on the best path forward.

Beyond her intelligence and impactful approach to lawyering, Megan was defined by her strength and kindness. She was deeply devoted to supporting the career development of those she worked with, acting as a champion and mentor to so many.

Megan’s care for her clients and colleagues, and her unwavering loyalty to the Gibney family, has left an indelible mark on all of us. We all benefitted from her wisdom, dedication and leadership. She will be dearly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working with her.

Our deepest sympathies are with Megan’s family and loved ones during this time.

Megan will always remain an inspiration to us and Gibney is making arrangements to honor her legacy.
