At Unified Law, we don’t believe in “advisors.” We believe in builders. General Counsel who think like operators, move like founders, and lead with clarity when the stakes are high.

So when we had the opportunity to bring on JoHannah T. Harrington, JD, MPH, we didn’t hesitate.

JoHannah is a Chief Legal Officer, global growth strategist, and public health-minded operator who’s spent nearly two decades guiding fast-growing companies from the inside. She’s led legal and compliance at high-velocity tech companies, scaled governance for 160+ international entities, closed $200M+ in funding rounds, and designed privacy programs rooted in both business reality and ethical rigor.

And that’s just the headline.

JoHannah doesn’t just think like a GC—she is the GC. The one who shows up early, understands the business, and makes legal not just a safeguard, but a growth engine. She brings both a Juris Doctor and a Master of Public Health to the table, which means her legal approach is always grounded in systems, strategy, and long-term resilience.

Why We’re Excited

JoHannah strengthens our ability to serve the kinds of clients we care about most: scaling companies, private equity-backed ventures, and purpose-driven organizations operating across borders.

Her core areas of focus include:

• Fractional General Counsel Support – JoHannah partners with executive teams to build legal operations that scale as the business grows.

• M&A Diligence & Deal Strategy – She leads complex cross-border transactions and knows how to get deals done without disruption.

• Capital Raise Readiness – With $200M+ in capital raises under her belt, she helps clients show up investor-ready.

• Corporate Transactions & Global Governance – She simplifies complex structures and ensures global entities stay in good standing.

• Compliance, Privacy & Public Health Risk Strategy – JoHannah designs programs that align with GDPR, CCPA, and the evolving regulatory landscape—with an instinct for operational nuance and human impact.

And when she’s not leading global legal teams or simplifying messy org charts? She’s climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, serving on nonprofit boards, and cooking meals from scratch with whatever’s in the fridge (which we’re told are never replicable—but always delicious).
