Harrison E. James

Harrison E. James is an attorney in the Los Angeles office of Wisner Baum, where he focuses his practice on the firm’s pharmaceutical drug liability, class action, and consumer fraud litigation.

Harrison is a key member of the legal team litigating over 11,000 Zantac cancer cases filed in California and Delaware state courts. He is also litigating a class action lawsuit filed under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act against H&R Block, Meta (Facebook), and Google. This groundbreaking case is the first RICO lawsuit against these companies, alleging they violated taxpayers' privacy rights by unlawfully collecting and sharing sensitive tax data without consent to boost profits through targeted advertising.

Harrison joined Wisner Baum in May 2019 as a law clerk while he was still a student at UCLA School of Law. He was hired as an attorney in May 2021 after passing the California bar exam.

During his time at UCLA, Harrison was the Chief Managing Editor of the Pacific Basin Law Journal. He was also a member of two moot court competition teams—the UCLA Cybersecurity Moot Court Team that placed second in the Qatar International Cyber Security Contest, and the UCLA Clara Barton IHL Competition Team that received an award for best brief.

Harrison completed his undergraduate work at the University of Southern California, where he was a Presidential Scholar and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He graduated magna cum laude in 2016 as a Philosophy and English double major.
