Meighan Harmon’s passion for family law became evident early in law school. Now 25 years into the practice and being internationally recognized for her achievements, Harmon prides herself on encouraging clients to look towards brighter horizons and helping them build a future that is both financially and emotionally secure. Her philosophy, which she imparts to clients, is simple: focus on the future as quickly and early as possible. “When clients focus on the past, they tend to get stuck there and not achieve their best results,” says Harmon. “There are few opportunities we have as adults to reinvent ourselves and get a fresh start. Divorce provides that opportunity, should you choose to take it.” In addition to her proactive approach to divorce, Harmon is an incredibly versatile attorney, who is exceptionally skilled in both litigation and mediation with a stellar track record for success. Harmon focuses her sophisticated practice on complex family law cases involving multi-generational wealth, business valuation, and complex trusts and estates. Adding to her top-tier guidance, she is a champion for the next generation of women in law. She is both a member of the Executive Committee and the first female Managing Partner at her firm. Harmon, a working mother herself, notes the importance for young female lawyers to learn from other successful female leaders like herself. “It gives young women the professional confidence that they’ll be okay and that there is a path for them to have both professional and personal success— it may not be easy, but they don’t have to choose one over the other.”
