Missy Mordy

Missy Mordy is an employment litigator and trial lawyer whose practice focuses on wage-and-hour class actions, complex employment litigation, and strategic workplace counseling. She represents employers of all sizes—from closely held businesses to some of the world's largest technology companies—in matters involving discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, wage-and-hour issues, and other workplace claims. Missy partners closely with her clients to understand their goals and business needs and is known for providing practical, strategic solutions. An experienced trial lawyer, she has successfully tried cases before judges and juries and knows how best to position matters for resolution both in and out of the courtroom.

While Missy's practice is centered on litigation, she also serves as a trusted advisor to employers seeking proactive guidance on workplace issues. She regularly counsels clients on wage-and-hour compliance, employee classification, performance management, terminations and separations, restrictive covenant and trade secret issues, and other employment-related matters. She is particularly well known for her work advising employers on complex wage-and-hour questions involving overtime, minimum wage, meal and rest periods, and related compliance concerns.

Missy also conducts trainings for clients and their employees on a variety of employment law topics, including harassment prevention, effective employee management, and wage-and-hour compliance. She has extensive experience conducting workplace investigations and helping employers navigate sensitive workplace issues before they develop into litigation.

In addition to her legal work for clients, Missy is the partner-in-charge of DWT's Bellevue office and co-chair of the employment services group's class action working group.

Prior to joining Davis Wright Tremaine, Missy worked as a litigation paralegal at Shearman & Sterling LLP in New York and served as an extern for the Hon. Thomas Zilly of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.
