Molly Morgan

Attorney Molly Morgan focuses her practice and professional energy to support clients in the energy and utilities industry as part of the firm’s transactional practice group in Wichita. Representative client work includes a range of local counsel support of independent power producers (IPPs) and developers of renewable energy and energy storage; landowners and counties regarding hosting renewable energy and energy storage; businesses interested in utilizing Kansas-generated renewable energy; and regulation of power markets and utilities such as by the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) and the Southwest Power Pool (SPP).

Molly’s practice includes a focus on renewable energy projects and matters related to climate change. She has conducted research on solar geoengineering technologies and governance at an international level, the global energy transition, and various public international law issues, working with Professor Craig Martin at Washburn University School of Law.

During two years as a Foulston summer associate, Molly researched topics including the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, renewable energy, government affairs, public utilities, and administrative law – all of which relate closely to her current areas of practice. She also created a 50-state survey summarizing relevant state-level legislation related to climate change and the commercial real estate industry.

Drawn to the practice of law throughout her life, Molly first joined Foulston as a legal administrative assistant to gain exposure to the legal profession. After graduating from Fort Hays State University magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in political science, Molly earned her Juris Doctor from Washburn University School of Law, where she was an Articles Editor of the Washburn Law Journal.

Outside the office, Molly loves to travel, especially internationally, and has hiked more than 150 miles of Camino de Santiago in Spain – a trip in which both her Spanish-language fluency and interest in fitness came in handy. She also enjoys spending time with friends and family, listening to podcasts, and exploring Wichita.
