In addition to substantial trial experience, Harrison has argued and briefed cases before the Virginia Court of Appeals, the D.C. Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court of Virginia.
Harrison’s industry focus is government contracts. He frequently files or opposes bid protests before the GAO, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, or assorted agencies.
