Nicholas T. Hariton has been the Managing Director & Counsel of Imaging Presentation Partners since 1994. With more than a decade of experience as a Trial Consultant, he is a well-respected leader in the field.
Nick revolutionized the practice of Trial Consulting by placing Jury Consultants in the role of trial technicians operating multimedia presentation systems in court. The apparent social status differential enables the jury consultant to effectively observe and analyze juror reaction to testimony and evidence presentation.
Coming from O’Melveny & Myers, LLP, where he served as a bank-side LBO lawyer, in the Bank and Financial Institutions Group, Nick formed Imaging Presentation Partners.
Nick began his Trial Consulting career with the first successful litigation against Microsoft Corporation (Stac Electronics v. Microsoft Corporation) and has assisted Exxon Mobil in its successful Municipality Diverted Services trial in Anchorage, Alaska. He has crafted “juror friendly” trial presentations for hundreds of Trial Teams throughout the country.
