2/4/2019 update:
Back in the day HLGR partners Sharon Rudnick and Jeff Matthews brought in some serious billable hours from UO as they tried to learn labor law on the fly, bargaining against the faculty union and the GTFF. They got schooled.
Harrang is now reduced to pitching its services to potential clients who think a strike is a good thing:

Hard to believe this was just 4 years ago. Gottfredson fired Geller a few months later over the Altman basketball cover-up, and he went to work for Harrang et al., which is now down to 17 lawyers from a peak of 40 or so. Subject: [Cas-infoshare] Work schedule for bargaining unit…

Just kidding, that’s who Interim President Scott Coltrane and Interim General Counsel Doug Park hired to investigate me over the presidential archives, along with Hershner Hunter’s Amanda Walkup.

No, this isn’t about HLGR’s Andrea Coit and her failed attempt to warn federal Judge David Carter about the Bowl of Dicks jury’s potential involvement in a Masonic blood-oath conspiracy.

The Docket is here.Walkup’s website is here. Pavel is represented by Marianne Dugan.

DENIED: So HLGR’s $25M loss to the family of dead smoker Michelle Schwarz stands:
Jack Moran has the story in the RG here:
The University of Oregon has accepted a $242,000 settlement deal to end a legal dispute over bonuses the UO paid to then-head football coach Chip Kelly and his staff for the 2012-13 season.
“The university is glad we were able to reach a settlement agreement and now we are looking forward to the upcoming season,” UO spokesman Tobin Klinger said.
The university had paid a nearly $490,000 premium for an insurance policy the UO says it thought would cover all incentive bonuses Kelly and his assistants earned in the 2012-13 season.
After the highly successful season, the UO paid out bonuses totaling nearly $688,000 and sought reimbursement under its policy. The insurer refused.
Financially, it appears the university would have been better off not buying the insurance at all, as the lawsuit settlement doesn’t even cover the cost of the premium the UO paid. …
Duck Associate Athletic Director Eric Roedl, who agreed to this $490,000 contract without understanding it, has been fired:
Just kidding, Rob Mullens gave him another raise:
So how much did HLGR bill UO for settling this case for 50¢ on the dollar? I don’t know, but judging by the long docket below, they probably did OK at ~$300 per. Here’s hoping PURMIT picked up their tab:

Associate Brett Applegate has left HLGR’s Portland office for Larkins Vacura LLC, who famously took the case of the 1930 Pendleton Roundup Queen’s dress to the Oregon Supreme Court, and won: That does sound like more fun than helping Bill Gary and Sharon Rudnick defend Philip Morris from another lawsuit, from the family of another dead cigarette addict.
