Harris Pogust
Global experience.
Practical execution.
Harris Pogust brings nearly four decades of litigation and law firm-building experience to the design of complex legal initiatives. His role at CLA is to help clients connect the elements that determine how an opportunity moves forward: legal strategy, jurisdiction, counsel, funding, specialist relationships and operational capability.
Throughout his career, Harris has helped build and support litigation platforms capable of operating across multiple jurisdictions. His work has required more than identifying promising legal theories: it has involved bringing together the right local counsel, funders, experts, operational teams, and strategic partners to turn complex opportunities into coordinated programs.
That experience gives Harris a practical understanding of what law firms and capital providers need when entering a new market or evaluating a significant litigation opportunity. He advises on jurisdiction selection, claims assessment, funding structures, partnerships, operational infrastructure, and long-term growth—always with close attention to alignment, execution, and risk.
At the center of his work is a global relationship network built over decades. Through CLA and its Global Advisory Council, Harris connects clients with experienced legal and business leaders whose insight can strengthen strategy and accelerate informed decision-making.
