Client focus and a team approach are the hallmarks of our practice.
HARRINGTON PRACTICE was founded in 2004 by James M. Harrington. Our practice initially focused on intellectual property rights management—from procuring patents and other forms of IP, to negotiating licenses, to litigating over infringement. Over the last few years, we've expanded our horizons to develop concentrations in complex business litigation; trade secrets litigation; and publicity, privacy, and defamation law. But our values are the same as the were on day one.

THESE ARE OUR VALUES: Hard work. Creativity. Honesty. Fairness. Economy. Client focus. Courage. Our goal is to bring all of these values to bear for each and every client, each and every day.

Most of THE WORK WE DO is for clients of moderate means. We have built our practice around the kinds of clients who can easily get lost when dealing with larger firms: individuals and small and emerging businesses. (Of course, medium- and large-sized businesses can benefit from our expertise, too.) We don't define our worth by the number of billable hours, but by the quality of our work and the care with which we undertake it.

WE HAVE an unbending commitment to serve our community. Our goal is to provide at least 250 hours of free or reduced-price legal services each year to clients who are otherwise unable to afford legal representation.
