Jeffrey Harrington graduated from a top-tier university in Southern California, which he attended on a merit scholarship maintained while working full-time as an English professor.
Jeffrey concentrated his legal studies on international business transactions and, through his academic achievement, was awarded a coveted clerkship with Clifford Chance in Barcelona, Spain. Jeffrey also studied international law in France and Argentina as part of his degree program.
After finishing his juris doctorate, Jeffrey moved to South Florida and worked as in-house counsel for an international manufacturing company. He also worked as an in-house advisor for a real estate investment firm before making the move to Palm Beach County, where he launched HLA. Before becoming an attorney, Jeffrey taught Literature & Composition at San Diego State University.
As a graduate student, Jeffrey moved to Spain where he mastered Spanish and made important foreign contacts. Since that experience, he has maintained close ties with Europe and added a working knowledge of both French and Portuguese to his fluent Spanish. Not surprisingly, Jeffrey’s practice emphasizes international transactions and dispute resolution. Jeffrey continues to serve clients in Miami-Dade and Broward, and he is quickly making a name for himself in Palm Beach County. Jeffrey is a member of the Palm Beach County Bar Association.
