His expertise, particularly in energy and mergers and acquisitions, has been honed over decades at Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP (BD&P), where he's tackled challenges both within Canada and on the international stage.

Beyond his corporate leadership, Harry has contributed to the legal profession as a member of the Conduct Committee of the Law Society of Alberta in the early '90s and through his membership in the Chancellor's Club at the University of Calgary.

Harry's influence extends beyond the courtroom and boardroom into meaningful community engagement. He initiated the Put the Boots to Hunger Campaign in partnership with the Calgary Interfaith Food Bank, showcasing his commitment to tackling societal issues head-on. His service on the Calgary Homeless Foundation and his involvement with the Calgary Petroleum Club and Calgary Minor Soccer Association reflect a deep commitment to his community.

On the corporate front, Harry has shared his expertise as a director on various boards, including Freehold Royalties Ltd. and Delphi Energy Corp., demonstrating his trusted advisory role in the corporate sphere. His past board memberships, such as Inverness Petroleum Ltd. and Cathay Investment Fund, highlight a broad spectrum of influence across different sectors.

An author as well, Harry penned "Time Bandit" published by 4th Floor Press, Inc. in 2015, adding another dimension to his versatile career. His professional affiliations with the Law Society of Alberta, Canadian Bar Association, and Petroleum Law Foundation underscore a lifelong commitment to legal excellence and professional development.

Harry's career is a testament to his versatility, leadership, and commitment to both his profession and his community. His contributions have not only shaped legal practices in energy and M&A but have also left a lasting impact on the communities and organizations he's served.
