Marc S. Harrison is a founding partner at Harrison & Harrison and loves every minute of being an attorney. He thrives on finding the solution for his clients’ problems and working with them through the implementation of the solution. His ‘go-getter’ attitude has drawn him into private practice and his commitment to customer service has pushed him to create a firm that is client-focused instead of lawyer-focused.
Marc’s legal career started at the Attorney General’s Chambers where he worked closely with senior counsel and learned as much as possible from them. He worked in the Commercial Division, drafting and vetting contracts for the Government of Jamaica and advising Government departments and bodies. He also represented Jamaica in International Capital Market Bond Issues and in both domestic and international commercial litigation matters. Marc later worked in the International Division of the Chambers where he provided legal advice on Bilateral and Multilateral Trade Agreements, worked on International Treaties and advised on other international matters.
In 2002, Marc moved to the private sector and accepted the post of General Counsel and Compliance Officer at Jamaica Money Market Brokers Limited. His responsibilities covered the entire JMMB group of companies so he liaised with both local and overseas regulatory bodies, ensured compliance with relevant legislation, represented the company in court proceedings and advised on all legal matters. He was also Company Secretary.
Marc Harrison is now Harrison & Harrison’s lead commercial attorney. His areas of focus include securities, structured finance and contracts. Our commercial clients enjoy working with Marc because he understands business. He has run his own businesses so he works with the client to protect their bottom line. The beauty of having a lawyer who is also a businessman on the team is that he understands the business point of view but can also give you the legal ramifications of decisions and help you find a suitable solution.
His boundless energy makes Marc a focused, dedicated attorney. He is committed to serving his clients and to providing the highest quality legal advice and he has infused this standard throughout the entire Harrison & Harrison family
