Journeying to Coastal Georgia from the mountains of East Tennessee, Brad Harmon has found a place for himself at Savannah's longest-running law firm, HunterMaclean. Building on 140 years of history, the firm continues to grow and thrive, influencing many parts of the city with people such as Harmon leading the charge. On this episode of Difference Makers, Harmon talks about growing up in the shadow of Dolly Parton in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., going from the University of Tennessee to Mercer University where he met his eventual wife and their move to Savannah. He also look at the changes in law around the city, what the most recent election means for firms such as his and the prospect of artificial intelligence in the law practice.
