A nationally known trial lawyer, McGuireWoods Chairman Jonathon Harmon represents Fortune 500 companies in bet-the-company litigation across the country. His clients include some of the largest U.S. financial institutions as well as telecommunications giants and leading automotive, food, and product manufacturers.
Harmon has more than 20 years of experience communicating complex information to juries in federal and state courts. Companies often call on him to “parachute” into high-exposure cases shortly before trial, and he has won verdicts in some of the most difficult, pro-plaintiff venues in the U.S.
Harmon formerly led McGuireWoods’ Business & Securities Litigation Department. His business litigation practice spans complex commercial, fraud, class action, insurance fraud, complex business and civil tort, environmental, product liability, employment, construction, toxic tort, and federal- or state-protected whistle-blower cases. Harmon has extensive experience with high-profile investigation involving sensitive issues relating to sexual and racial harassment and discrimination, whistleblowers, and other violations of federal and state law.
