Harry R. S. Phillips

Harry Phillips is a senior litigation associate in the firm’s Washington, D.C. office. He represents clients in a broad range of antitrust and competition matters, including competitor litigation, class actions, agency enforcement, and government investigations.

Harry has had success at all stages of litigation, securing dismissals on the pleadings, defeating class certification, prevailing at trial, and preserving those victories on appeal. Harry was a member of the trial team that defended Apple Inc. against antitrust claims in Epic Games v. Apple, described by the New York Times as “one of the biggest antitrust trials in Silicon Valley’s history.” Other recent representations include defending a technology platform against multiple lawsuits alleging monopolization, a medical device company against claims of unlawful exclusive dealing and bundling, and a real estate company against nationwide commission-fixing allegations. Harry has also contributed to leading antitrust journals and treatises including Antitrust Law Developments, Competition Policy International, and Global Competition Review.

Before joining Gibson Dunn, Harry clerked for Judge Albert Diaz on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. He graduated summa cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in 2018, receiving the Francis E. Lucey, S.J. award for placing first in his class. While in law school, Harry presented oral argument to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in a case about foreign sovereign immunity.

Harry earned his undergraduate degree in Modern Languages from the University of Oxford and is proficient in French and German. Before his legal career, he worked as a journalist covering business and the law.
