About Harry
Harry Mirchandaney’s academic path crosses engineering, business and law. He began with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University in 1978, followed by an M.S. in Systems Engineering from Lehigh University in 1986. He earned an MBA in Finance from the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill in 1996 and later studied copyright law at Harvard Law School in 2014. He also holds a J.D. from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles.
His early career combined technical training and legal work. After law school he joined HMA Law Group as a lawyer in 2009. That role was followed by a position as a judicial research lawyer at the Orange County Superior Court in 2011, where he worked on legal research and supported courtroom practice. Those experiences gave him both private-practice perspective and an inside view of court procedures.
Mirchandaney has added formal project management credentials to his legal toolkit. He holds a Masters Certificate in Project Management from George Washington University’s Virginia campus and is a certified Project Management Professional through the Project Management Institute. He also carries a Certified MBA credential from the Association of Certified Masters of Business Administration. On the local bar scene he maintains memberships in the Riverside County Bar Association and the Orange County Bar Association.
His background is unusual for a lawyer. Longstanding training in mechanical and systems engineering sits alongside business training and legal study of copyright. That mix shapes how he approaches problems. He can parse technical issues, follow complex factual records and place legal questions in a business context. Time spent in the courthouse added familiarity with trial-level procedure and judicial expectations.
Mirchandaney is licensed to practice in California and has maintained offices in both Orange County and Riverside County. He has practiced at HMA Law Group and worked within the Orange County Superior Court system in a research capacity. Colleagues and clients describe him as practical and detail-oriented rather than flashy; he tends to favor clear analysis and methodical preparation in his matters.
Today he continues to practice in Orange and Riverside counties, handling matters that draw on his training in law, engineering and business and on his coursework in copyright law.
