    Harrison Martin helps businesses facing litigation build their best defense. He works with clients across the financial, transportation and insurance sectors to find effective arguments that can often resolve claims quickly and avoid the costs of lengthy litigation.

    When brought into a case early on, Harrison cuts through the clutter of complex disputes to find the relevant law at stake. His ability to quickly identify issues helps clients get ahead of claims, sometimes finding a fix before a suit is even filed. With a focus on detailed research, analysis and writing, he has experience securing dismissals without the need for trial on jurisdictional and cause-of-action issues and through summary judgment motions for claims involving:

      • Unfair trade practices
      • Premises liability
      • Commercial transportation negligence
      • Trade secrets

    If agreement can’t be reached in a case’s early stages, Harrison partners with clients to identify a practical path forward. His time spent in financial services before law school gives him an understanding of clients’ priorities from an operations perspective and helps him find solutions that fit their big-picture needs. Whether ensuring a strong settlement position or advocating for them at trial, Harrison brings a measured approach to his counsel that helps clients resolve issues and get back to running their business.
