FirmLeadership

FordHarrison is managed by managing partner C. Lash Harrison and co-managing partner Herbert Gerson.  The firm is governed by an Executive Committee that consists of eight diverse firm partners who are charged with overseeing every aspect of the firm's operation and development.  The Executive Committee meets at least twice per month.  In addition, we have two deputy managing partners who oversee regions and serve as liaisons to our individual offices.  Finally, an office managing or administrative partner manages the day-to-day activities of each office. The office managing partners, administrative partners and members of the Executive Committee together form the firm's Management Group, which meets quarterly.
