Harry has extensive experience in high-profile, complex litigation. Harry represents the Oregon Attorney General in her litigation against Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family. The Attorney General’s lawsuit was the first in the nation to identify nearly $11 billion in fraudulent transfers out of Purdue and was covered in the New York Times and NBC News. Harry also represents the Mayor of Portland’s re-election campaign and earlier this year Harry successfully defeated an attempt by the Mayor’s election opponent to obtain a temporary restraining order shutting down the Mayor’s campaign just days before the primary election. Portland media widely covered the case.

Harry represented the State of Oregon and Cover Oregon in their litigation against Oracle, the second-largest software company in the world. The litigation involved seven cases in state and federal courts and claims for breach of contract, fraud, false claims, copyright, and racketeering. Harry played a central role in all the cases, including briefing and arguing dispositive motions and taking and defending key depositions. The litigation settled successfully in September 2016.

Harry chairs Markowitz Herbold’s Government Practice Group. He has represented a wide array of public officials, election campaigns, and advocacy organizations, including the Governor of Oregon, the Attorney General of Oregon, legislators, labor unions, industry associations, and ballot measure and political campaign organizations. In addition to his government work, Harry represents public and private companies in high-stakes commercial disputes, with a focus on intellectual property claims.  Although Harry concentrates on trial work, he has a sophisticated appellate practice and has worked on more than 60 appeals to state and federal appellate courts, including the Oregon Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court. He has argued more than a dozen times before appellate courts.

In 2019, De Paul presented him with the 20th annual Freedom Award in recognition of his efforts to fight the stigma of addiction. Harry is in long-term recovery from alcoholism and addiction.
