Harrison Law, PLLC provides a broad spectrum of professional legal services in all aspects of commercial law, construction law, business representation, estate planning, surety and fidelity law, environmental and natural resource law, and other legal services.

We’re proud to have been able to work with both individuals and small and large organizations. Our years of experience and the amount of focused attention we dedicate to each case sets us apart as a commercial law practice that offers high quality legal representation.

Whether it be a start up to a multinational organization, no one welcomes litigation. Disputes are time consuming and costly taking critical hours and days away from business development.
 
Increasingly, businesses acknowledge that mediation services can resolve destructive disputes before they end in court or arbitration, avoiding punishing appearances with their legal fees and costs.
 
At Harrison Law we help parties discuss their disputes as a neutral third party, assisting them to reach a resolution.
Our business law practice helps entrepreneurs and business owners across industry sectors to establish, grow or sell their businesses.
 
At Harrison Law we offer practical solutions by acting as an advisor and legal counsel for businesses. We work with our clients throughout the business lifecycle ensuring we’re on hand to provide you with solutions rather than simply addressing business problems. From the setting up and next stage funding to exit strategies, we’re behind you every step of the way.
For most business owners, there comes a time when you need to set out a structured business succession plan. This will ensure the smooth transfer of ownership to the successors of your business after you retire or in the unfortunate event of death of disability.

Commercial disputes cause disruption and take valuable time and energy away from the day-to-day running and development of your business.

At Harrison Law, our attorneys have the experience and expertise to cut through the complexities of commercial disputes to focus on the strategies that work best for you and your business.

To begin with we get to know you and understand how your business works, providing an effective representation while avoiding unnecessary costs.
 
Our approach from the start will always be to work with you to find the quickest and most efficient route to dispute resolution.
And we fight the big guys and win, if a more aggressive approach is needed. We have 25 years of trial and courtroom experience if a dispute heads toward litigation, and we’re proud of our track record of getting the right results for our clients.
From small residential housing units to suburban mixed-use developments and out-of-town lifestyle malls, at Harrison Law we represent owners, builders, contractors and architects in legal disputes and other areas related to construction law.
 

A project delayed or disrupted can be catastrophic for your business, and our main aim is to resolve disputes informally without the need for formal resolution proceedings. This allows us to act decisively to resolve the dispute and get the construction project back on track. Our innovative approach gives you effective representation while continuing to pursue your interests.

We have years of construction litigation experience. Our extensive trial and courtroom experience brings weight and credibility if a dispute heads toward an administrative hearing, arbitration or a courtroom.

A proper estate plan is essential for an individual to protect themselves and their loved ones if one becomes incapacitated or dies. However, estate planning can sometimes be a daunting topic.  Most individuals want a plan in place to protect themselves and their loved ones if they become incapacitated or die.  Sometimes an individual may see the process of creating an estate plan as a challenge because it impacts those that one cares about the most.  

At Harrison Law, we have a common-sense approach to your estate planning with your personal needs in mind. We are not a document-generation firm or believe that there is a “one size fits all” estate plan. With our years of estate plan creation experience, we see ourselves as counselors to help you find the right solutions for you and your loved ones to establish a legacy for those you care about.  We then provide the framework and documents necessary to address your individual needs and goals.

Sometimes when individuals create an estate plan and trust, they may want assistance in placing in their estate plan in synch with their financial plan.  In addition, at the time of their incapacity or death, the trusted loved one designated with responsibilities may need answers to questions or assistance to administer the estate and trust.  At Harrison Law, we have individuals who can provide advice and assistance when these situations occur.

Although one of the goals of estate planning is to avoid involvement by the court through the lengthy and expensive process of probate. Unfortunately, circumstances sometimes occur where individuals do not have a complete estate plan in place when they die. In these circumstances court involvement via Probate may be necessary.  Our firm can also assist individuals as they maneuver through the probate court system to address the challenges that may arise.

At Harrison Law, we have expertise and experience in Surety and Fidelity law.

Our practice spans the range of surety bonds with a focus on construction bonds, fidelity bonds, litigation against indemnitors, representation of the surety in bankruptcy proceedings, defense for sureties in payment and performance bond litigation, takeover agreements and tenders and subrogation and recovery.
 
Before establishing Harrison Law, Mathew Harrison was an attorney for one of the premier Surety and Fidelity law firms in the southwestern United States. Consequently, we are recognized as a premier law firm for representing national surety and fidelity law clients. Matthew continues to represent surety clients along with entities and individuals submitting bond claims.
 
In addition, Matthew also represents fidelity insurers that issue bonds and commercial crime insurance policies to financial institutions, credit unions, and businesses.
One of the challenges for all of us is to protect the world we live in.
Every business faces legal obligations and a moral responsibility to ensure they minimise damage to the environment.
 
Environmental law covers a number of areas including corporate social responsibility, climate control, pollution, energy and waste. Failing to manage this carefully can lead to non-compliance, and financial and reputational damage to you and your business.
 
At Harrison Law, we have the expertise and experience of dealing with the complex and constantly changing legislation in environmental and natural resource law. We translate legislation into clear points and actions that help you to stay compliant while building a business with a sustainable future.
Our goal is to navigate your business through local and federal agencies, avoiding unnecessary costs. To achieve this, we work closely with government agencies to find the best route to comply with the relevant legislation. If disputes do arise, we take all the necessary actions and proceed into litigation as needed.
We are the firm for those corporations and individuals seeking high-quality representation in a variety of legal areas. Clients choose us for our legal expertise, reputation, knowledge, and practical courtroom experience. These qualities allow our clients to achieve successful outcomes in litigation and essential advice and counsel in non-litigation settings.
