Megan E. Ball

As a litigator at BrownWinick, I draw on my experience clerking for two federal judges to represent and advise clients, at all stages of a dispute, to resolve matters efficiently and economically.  I strive to help clients identify prospective issues and address those matters before they reach the courts; and zealously advocate on your behalf once litigation begins.  It is my goal to understand your business and the unique challenges it faces to provide a practical, thoughtful approach to ensure the best possible outcome.   

My Approach

As your advocate, I seek to understand your distinct goals and challenges, provide accurate analysis, and work efficiently to provide practical solutions.  I understand that litigation often is disruptive to your business, and I endeavor to make the process manageable through clear communication, an organized approach, and an honest assessment of the options available.  I will work to find the right solution for your business.    

More About Me

I am a proud Iowa native with a deep appreciation for the Greater Des Moines community and all the exciting opportunities here.  I am a 2016 graduate from the University of Notre Dame with my B.A. in History Honors and Theology, magna cum laude.  In 2019, I received my J.D. magna cum laude from the University of Notre Dame Law School.  In law school, I served as a managing senior editor of the Notre Dame Law Review and an oralist on the Notre Dame Moot Court Board.  Upon graduation, I received the Award of Excellence in the Program for Study in Energy & Environmental Law.   

Before returning home and joining BrownWinick, I gained invaluable trial and appellate experience by serving two federal judicial clerkships for the Honorable L. Steven Grasz of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit (2019–2020) and the Honorable Stephen J. Murphy III of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (2020–2021).  After my clerkships, I practiced for two and a half years with a large, international law firm in Washington, D.C.
