Litigator Stephen Harvey, who notably represented the plaintiffs in a challenge to the teaching of intelligent design in public schools and the more recent matter of getting two young patients on an adult lung donor list, has left Pepper Hamilton to start his own firm.

After nearly 20 years in the Philadelphia office of Pepper Hamilton, Harvey has formed Steve Harvey Law, where he intends to focus his practice on representing clients in business disputes, banking and financial services matters and government claims.
