Megan L. Wiggins

Megan L. Wiggins is counsel at the firm, where she handles complex litigation and appellate matters.  Megan’s distinctive combination of experience in private practice and working for federal and state judges allows her to efficiently manage complex cases and develop strategies for resolution that account for the bigger picture. 

Before joining the firm, Megan served as the career law clerk to the Hon. Katharine S. Hayden, of the District of New Jersey, for eight years.  She also previously worked in private practice at large and mid-size firms handling complex commercial litigation and intellectual property matters.  Megan appreciates that each matter requires its own unique, tailored approach, from initiation to the appellate stages.   

Earlier in her career, Megan clerked for the Hon. Maryanne Trump Barry of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and the Hon. Edwin H. Stern (Ret.), Presiding Judge of Administration for the New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division, who was at the time temporarily assigned to the Supreme Court of New Jersey. These experiences inform her approach to both trial- and appellate-level litigation.   

Megan is a trustee of the Association of the Federal Bar of New Jersey, where she has served on committees that develop practical, useful CLE programming, award scholarships, and facilitate the re-entry needs of former federal prisoners.  

Megan earned her J.D., magna cum laude, from Seton Hall University School of Law, where she served as an editor of the Seton Hall Law Review.  She earned her B.A. with high honors from Rutgers University, with dual majors in biological sciences and criminal justice.
