Who We Are

Harrington Morris Legal was founded in 2011 by Jessica Harrington and Michael Morris, two seasoned attorneys whose careers intersected during a landmark corporate litigation case in New York. United by a shared belief that businesses deserve not only exceptional legal defense but also forward-thinking guidance on public perception, they established a firm built on the intersection of law, strategy, and communication.

Jessica, with a background in mergers & acquisitions and board advisory, saw a growing need for sophisticated legal counsel as companies navigated increasingly complex governance challenges. Michael, a former media law specialist and corporate litigator, had worked extensively with Fortune 500 companies to manage crises in high-profile, high-pressure scenarios.

Together, they envisioned a legal practice that would be proactive rather than reactive — a firm that not only defended clients in courtrooms, but also protected reputations in boardrooms and the public eye. Over the past decade, Harrington Morris Legal has grown into a nationally recognized name in Corporate Law and Public Relations advisory, serving clients across industries including finance, tech, healthcare, and communications.

Today, the firm continues to reflect the founders’ mission: to empower businesses with strategic legal guidance that is as agile and dynamic as the challenges they face.
