About Leila
Leila Larsen built her academic foundation in Tennessee. She earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Tennessee in Memphis in 1998 and later completed a Juris Doctor at Belmont University College of Law. Those degrees set the stage for a practice rooted in state law and informed by a business background.
Her path to private practice brought her back into Tennessee’s legal community. After law school she entered the profession and maintained her ties to state institutions. In 2024 she is listed as a lawyer at The Higgins Firm PLLC, where she joined the firm’s roster and began contributing to client matters handled there.
Colleagues describe Larsen as methodical in approach. She tends to break complex problems into smaller legal questions. That style suits the steady caseload handled by a small firm. It also fits the expectations clients often bring when they seek counsel on matters that intersect business concerns and state regulation.
Larsen’s professional affiliations include membership in the Tennessee Bar Association. She participates in the statewide organization and keeps up with continuing legal education and bar activities through that channel. The association role helps her stay current on changes in Tennessee law and on developments that affect local practitioners.
She practices under the jurisdiction of Tennessee. Her training and bar membership align with the rules and procedures of the state courts. That local grounding is a practical advantage for clients who need representation tied to Tennessee statutes, regulations and court practice.
At The Higgins Firm PLLC Larsen works alongside other lawyers and staff to address client needs. Her work is part of a team environment where routine file management and client communication are daily tasks. The firm lists her as a lawyer beginning in 2024, and she has been present in the firm’s matters since that time.
Outside of her day-to-day files, Larsen keeps a measured profile. She does not publish prolifically and she does not maintain a public-facing portfolio of reported decisions. Instead, she focuses on the practical work that supports clients’ immediate legal needs and on staying involved in the Tennessee legal community through the bar association.
She lives and practices in Tennessee. As of 2026 she practices law at The Higgins Firm PLLC in Tennessee.
