about
A native of Cheraw, South Carolina, Meagan moved to Mississippi to attend law school in 2010. After graduating from law school, Meagan clerked for United States District Court Judge Debra M. Brown in Greenville, MS. Following her clerkship, Meagan joined the firm of Glover, Young, Hammack, Walton & Simmons, PLLC in Meridian, MS, where she was made partner in January 2018. While at Glover Young, Meagan focused on a wide range of insurance defense, commercial, product liability, and employment litigation. She also maintained a healthy estate planning and probate practice, including the drafting of estate planning documents, the administration of estates, and the representation of fiduciaries in guardianships and conservatorships.
In September 2018, Meagan joined Trustmark National Bank as a Trust Officer, where she provided expertise and communication in trust and estate issues, advised high net worth clients regarding estate planning, asset protection, and planning for incapacity. Additionally, Meagan developed annual accountings for court-appointed trusts, prepared memos and presented client requests to various committees, interpreted trusts, and managed a large portfolio of trust, estate and fiduciary investment accounts.
Meagan moved home to South Carolina and joined Newsome Law in August 2020, where she practices in the areas of trust and estate administration, wealth transfer planning, taxation and exempt organizations.
