LACBA is saddened to learn about the passing of Past President Harry Hathaway.

Harry, a former LACBA legacy member who joined the Association in 1965, received his law degree from the University of Southern California and was a partner at Norton Rose Fulbright, managing the Los Angeles office for many years until his retirement in 2016. He served as LACBA President in 1989-90. During his year as president, LACBA was instrumental in continuing the important work of the Inner City Law Center by approving sponsorship of the organization.

Harry has played an important role throughout LACBA’s history. He co-founded LACBA’s Senior Lawyers Section in 2007, a section dedicated to preserving the history of the legal profession in Los Angeles and cultivating social interaction among its members. He was also instrumental in the publication of the Lawyers of Los Angeles: 1950 to 2020, authored by Kathleen Tuttle, a book that journeys back to the founding of entertainment law in Los Angeles and explores the lawyers who enabled, managed, perfected, popularized, and often canonized movies, moguls, and stars.

LACBA is grateful for Harry’s past contributions to the Association. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family for their loss.
