What Attorneys Are Saying About Marcia's Courses

This is a course which I learned so much in a short period of time; which will be helpful to many of my clients who own and are residing in condominiums. Truly an exceptional lecturer with a superb amount of knowledge and experience.

Ms. Harris provides not only solid information, but she' a great blend of non nonsense educational content and dry wit. Highly recommend!

Marcia Harris Bio

Admitted to the New York bar in 1998, Marcia Harris has focused primarily on the practice of corporate law (corporate finance, corporate governance and corporate contracts) first with Shearman and Sterling (in New York, London and Paris) and then as corporate counsel for various non-profit and for-profit companies in London and New York. She became interested in condominium law during a consultancy to the Small Business Service of the U.K. Department of Trade and Industry, where she created an urban development plan that included developing commonhold (condominium) energy-efficient work space for small businesses and social enterprises with mortgages using tax-beneficial private sector investment funds. She then worked with Arup plc and the London Regional Government towards creating public-private finance funds to implement such development in the Thames Gateway region. She also served on the Steering Committee of Thames Strategy East (a partnership among the U.K. Environment Agency, the eleven Thames Gateway Local Authorities, the Port of London and the Thames Estuary Partnership) and as a member of the London Regional Government delegation to the C40 Sustainable Cities Summit in New York. Graduating in 1997 from New York University School of Law, she was the Managing Editor of the Journal of International Law and Politics, created and organized a symposium, Vietnamese Law in the Global Economy, on the development of business law and policy in Vietnam and was awarded the Jerome Lipper Prize for Outstanding Work in the Field of International Law. She is also qualified as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales. She has delivered New York state and English CLE courses on various issues in corporate law in New York, London and Frankfurt at Shearman and Sterling; Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton and elsewhere, and her publications are also in areas of corporate law. Her pro bono work includes serving as President of a residential condominium board in the U.K. and as a Director (including a term as President) of a residential condominium board in the U.S. She also provides informal pro bono advice to residential condominium board directors.
