Harris Beach Murtha is more than a law firm. We are a strategic partner dedicated to providing legal services that align with your business goals and spur success. We are a one-stop shop for problem solving – a mid-size firm with full-service capabilities that help your business navigate legal challenges and manage day-to-day operations. Skillful legal representation often makes the difference in business growth and prosperity.
A forward-thinking and innovative partner with the benefit of more than 250 years of combined history, our New York roots reach back to 1856, and we have had ties to New England since 1899. We are a regional heavyweight firm with more than 300 attorneys across 19 offices in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey and New York.
The Northeast Corridor is a major driver of our nation’s economy, and, with boots on the ground and deep experience, we understand its complex regulatory, governmental, political and cultural environments. We are equipped to help clients – especially new and emerging businesses – successfully navigate those landscapes. That is a true differentiator for our clients. But, make no mistake, we are not limited by geography, time zones or language. We have a Northeast presence with global reach and boldly embrace the unique challenges of regional, national and international law.
