NEW YORK (May 9, 2025) – Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP is pleased to announce that Partner Morgan Manley has been selected to serve on The Frick Collection’s Young Fellows Steering Committee.
The Frick Collection, located in New York City, is internationally recognized as a premier museum and research center. It is known for its distinguished Old Master paintings and outstanding examples of European sculpture and decorative arts.
The Young Fellows Steering Committee plays a pivotal role in guiding programming and member engagement for the Frick’s Young Fellows—a dynamic group of supporters between the ages of 21 and 45. Committee members help shape the group’s activities, cultivate new members, and serve as ambassadors of the Frick’s mission to a new generation of patrons. Their leadership supports the museum’s educational and curatorial initiatives while fostering a community of emerging philanthropists with a passion for art.
Morgan Manley, Partner in the Art, Litigation, and Bankruptcy Sections of Smith Gambrell, has been a Young Fellow of the Frick since 2013 and has served on the Young Fellows Ball Benefit Committee, most recently in 2024 and 2025. Morgan earned her B.A. in Art History from Brandeis University prior to attending Fordham University School of Law where she earned her J.D in 2016. While at Fordham, she served as President of the Art Law Society, where she hosted record-setting conferences that brought together leaders from across the art world. She also completed internships at Christie’s Inc. and the International Foundation for Art Research (IFAR), further grounding her expertise at the intersection of law and the arts. At Smith Gambrell, Morgan assists clients in a wide variety of sectors with navigating complex issues, including those involving business torts, art law related issues, valuation disputes, and management-side employment disputes.
