Paul Harold

Commercial Litigation | White Collar Defense and Investigations | Appellate and Constitutional Law

Paul focuses his practice on solving complex legal disputes and is a member of SouthBank Legal’s Chambers-ranked litigation team. Having appeared in hundreds of federal and state lawsuits, Paul is a seasoned litigator with experience in a wide range of complex cases, including multimillion-dollar tort cases, constitutional claims, trade secret and intellectual property theft disputes, complex contractual and warranty matters, defense of white-collar investigations, and litigation involving fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. He also advises business clients on warranty and sales-related legal issues, assists several banks on commercial collection matters, and is a leader of SouthBank Legal’s appellate practice. Paul clerked for four years at the federal trial and appellate levels and has taught commercial law at Notre Dame Law School for a decade.

Besides having extensive legal experience, Paul is easy to work with and is a good teammate. His ego-free approach has helped him successfully team up with corporate in-house counsel from Fortune 500 companies as well as with litigators from the top law firms in the country—like Williams & Connolly, Kirkland & Ellis, and Winston & Strawn, to name a few. Paul’s focus is not on burnishing his own resume but on helping the legal team best serve the client by meeting the client’s objectives.

Prior to entering private practice, Paul clerked for The Honorable Daniel A. Manion, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and for The Honorable J. Leon Holmes, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
