Sherrard Roe Voigt & Harbison is pleased to announce that William “Jay” Harbison has joined the firm as a member of its litigation practice, where he will counsel clients on various business disputes and commercial matters.

Prior to joining the firm, Jay was a partner at the Nashville law firm Neal & Harwell, where he represented both plaintiffs and defendants and advised clients on a variety of complex legal issues, with an emphasis on First Amendment litigation.

Jay earned his J.D. magna cum laude from the University of Tennessee College of Law and went on to clerk for the Honorable Gilbert S. Merritt, Jr. of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. He graduated with a degree in English and Theater from Middlebury College.

Jay currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Nashville Bar Association, is a member of the Executive Committee for the Tennessee Bar Association’s Communications Law Section, and is a member of the American Bar Association’s Communications Law Forum.

“Jay is an exceptional lawyer and is a great addition to our already deep and sophisticated litigation practice,” said Albert Bart, leader of the firm’s management committee. “The Harbison name is such a large part of our history that we are proud to have a third generation join Sherrard Roe.”
