A seasoned and effective advocate for complex employment matters

Our company faced a difficult wrongful termination lawsuit that threatened significant liability. We engaged Chris Harrison based on his long-standing recognition in employment law management. His 28 years of experience, particularly in labor and employment litigation, were immediately evident. Chris provided a clear, strategic assessment of our case, drawing on his deep understanding of Tennessee employment law. He was particularly adept at navigating the nuances of our situation, which involved complex disciplinary history. His counsel was pragmatic and focused on achieving the best possible outcome without unnecessary escalation. While his expertise is top-tier and his guidance invaluable, there were occasional delays in email responses during particularly busy periods, which our internal team had to factor into our timelines. Ultimately, Chris negotiated a very favorable settlement that protected our company's interests completely. We highly recommend him for any business facing employment-related legal challenges.
