Harrell & Harrell, PA

Harrell & Harrell is a Jacksonville, Fla., law firm that practices law based on the belief that the way a law firm is organized and the manner in which its attorneys are compensated have an overwhelming influence on the quality of representation it can provide. The firm s organization is based on the business model of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., one of the most widely regarded hospitals in the world. Harrell & Harrell studied how the Mayo Clinic was organized. The firm asked: how can Mayo deliver what many consider to be the best health care in the world with superb doctors who are compensated at a fraction of what they could make in private practice? The answer proved to be that Mayo allows its doctors the freedom to focus on what they want to do: provide world-class medicine with technical and personnel support of the highest caliber. Just as Mayo doctors are placed on salary to remove the profit motive from their treatment of patients, Harrell & Harrell lawyers are salaried.
