Business and Property

Position

Harrison is a member of the Business and Property group at No5 and accepts instructions in all areas of commercial, property and chancery law. He represents companies, individuals, and partnerships across the full spectrum of business and property disputes.

Career

Harrison has a busy practice and appears in the County Court and High Court on a variety of trials and interlocutory hearings. He acts in small claim, fast track, and multi-track cases at all stages. He frequently acts in cases valued at over £100,000 and is often instructed against senior counsel. Harrison represents clients in mediations and other forms of alternative dispute resolution and is just as proficient in using these formats as acting in formal litigation.

Harrison also has a strong paperwork practice and routinely drafts proceedings for both Claimants and Defendants, often at short notice. He is comfortable advising on high value claims and dissecting complex legal issues.

Prior to joining No5, Harrison worked as a paralegal to the Chief Executive of a large Midlands law firm, specialising in commercial and banking law. Through this role he gained experience of a wide range of disputes and has developed a keen understanding of the practical issues facing corporate clients.

During his undergraduate degree, Harrison undertook an internship in the legal department of an international air transport technology company. He gained exposure to international commercial contracts and niche issues such as trade sanctions.
