Edward C. Harcourt

Growing up, Ed worked at his family’s small business in rural Indiana, which was founded by his grandfather and further developed by his dad and aunt. Ed knew he wanted to pursue a career where he could excel with the attributes acquired from his father. Today, he focuses his legal practice on representing clients namely in the transportation and trucking industry – drawing on the lessons he learned from observing the characteristics that founded his dad’s entrepreneurial success.

As a member of the firm’s Transportation & Logistics Service Group, Ed represents trucking and transportation service outfits, logistics brokerage firms, associated industry operations, and insurance carriers. He enjoys working with clients that present him with new projects and novel issues that allow for curiosity fueled deep dive research. In addition to representing his clients in trucking accidents (i.e., de minimis protective investigations to catastrophic loss rapid responses) and brokerage operations, Ed’s practice also focuses on the following: contract drafting/negotiation and consulting services; agricultural liability; environmental spill/contamination and remediation; product liability; premises liability; and wrongful death matters.

If Ed is not in the office, then you will likely find him outdoors. He enjoys hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, kayaking, and snow skiing. His lifelong interest in nature has led him to become a certified Master Gardener and Master Naturalist. Early in his legal career, he served as the Fish, Wildlife, and Water attorney at the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Furthermore, Ed is an active volunteer in his downtown Indianapolis Neighborhood – helping with the community’s preservation and stewardship for future generations.
