Theodore Harrington focuses on the representation of law firm partners and practice groups, with New York at the centre of his work. His experience extends across other major US markets and a broad range of practice areas, including M&A, investment funds, capital markets, white collar, real estate, secondaries and finance. He advises on strategic lateral moves, helping partners assess whether another platform can better support their clients, teams and long-term ambitions.

​

His experience in partner and group representation informs a disciplined approach to each engagement. Theodore takes time to understand the commercial foundations of a practice, the relationships that must be protected and the factors that will determine whether a move succeeds. He combines that understanding with market intelligence and insight into law firm strategy to provide clear, independent advice.

​

Discretion and confidentiality are central to his work. Theodore recognises that even an exploratory conversation can carry significant professional implications for a partner and their team. He manages discussions with care, limits unnecessary market exposure and ensures that partners retain control over the timing and scope of any approach.

​

He places particular value on relationships built well before a move is contemplated. For Theodore, effective representation means being a trusted adviser through a consequential decision, with a focus on outcomes that endure for the partner, the group and their clients.
