At Harris Beach, we work hard to ensure we live up to our firm’s vision: “Client Solutions that Exceed Expectations.”

Since our firm was founded in 1856, Harris Beach has grown to a Top 250 firm with over 200 attorneys in offices throughout New York state.

From the earliest years, we have been on the cutting edge of the law. At the turn of the century, we helped guide the expansion of the railway system throughout New York state. We were there to help one of our clients secure the patent for a novel photo-imaging system that many thought would never catch on. (The company is now the international leader in photocopying systems.) Before the rest of the country focused on health care reform, we were helping our clients design a community system that resulted in costs dramatically below the national average.

Our significant accomplishments have continued with the management of multi-billion dollar corporate transactions, and the launch of our innovative ancillary services such as the new Electronic Information Counseling and Management practice (e-infosm).

We remain at the forefront of issues facing businesses in the 21st century, whether it’s competing in the global marketplace or meeting the demands of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Above all, we understand and match our clients' need to move faster, think more creatively, and develop new business models to achieve sustainable growth.

This dedication to our clients is also reflected in our commitment to our communities. Our attorneys have always been active, serving on the board of directors for numerous corporations, hospitals, museums, shelters, and other charitable organizations.
