Harrison commented: “The exponential growth we have seen at Sterlington over the last 6 months has been due to an increase in demand for our specialized services, flexibility, and virtual offering. We are incredibly proud to diversify our pool of talent with partners like Steven, which is vital to the future of our firm. We already serve clients across multiple disciplines but with legal tech and cybersecurity such an enormous priority for many across the world, we are thrilled to add Steven’s expertise to our team”.

His experience includes Federal and state court litigation matters both against and on behalf of Fortune 500 companies as well as probate and family law disputes where electronic discovery is critically implicated. He is also admitted to the bars of New York, the District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, and New Jersey.
