Elizabeth “Biz” Harrison Partner Gaskins Hancock Tuttle Hash, Raleigh

Biz Harrison is a partner at Gaskins Hancock Tuttle Hash in Raleigh, with 30 years of practice. She is best known for her ability to handle complex commercial transactions and bring a diverse background from experience to the deal. Harrison tried many different practice areas, including personal injury, workers compensation, immigration of Canadian nurses and employment law, before circling back to real estate to distinguish herself from her father, Woody Harrison, a successful real estate lawyer in eastern North Carolina. “I enjoy real estate transactions because the parties are typically all trying to achieve the common goal of closing the transaction,” Harrison said. Her most memorable matters include coordinating multi-site deals with lots of moving parts, where strong communication is important. Also memorable are matters where contracts were signed before the client consulted with an attorney. Harrison’s experience includes time in private practice representing commercial clients and working in-house with a National Title Insurance Underwriter.
