Jack Harrington represents clients facing complex criminal, regulatory, enforcement, and reputational matters with a particular focus on the financial services, defense, and technology sectors.

Prior to joining Bradley, Jack served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Criminal Division of the United States Attorney’s Office in Birmingham, where he investigated and prosecuted complex fraud, money laundering, trade sanctions, cybercrime, and national security matters in partnership with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. His work included coordinating and managing Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and Anti-Money Laundering/Bank Secrecy Act (AML/BSA) matters and liaising with the financial services community to identify criminal activity worthy of federal prosecution. He also served as the office’s COVID-19 fraud coordinator, prosecuting more than two dozen Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan fraud cases and a Nigerian criminal network’s $4.1 million pandemic unemployment insurance scheme. Leveraging his years of military and intelligence community experience, Jack also prosecuted a range of counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and export control cases, including an Alabama defendant who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to export U.S.-origin goods to the Islamic Republic of Iran in violation of trade sanctions. Jack also served as the United States Attorney’s Office’s national security liaison to the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, Alabama.

Prior to joining the Department of Justice, Jack served as a senior associate in the Washington, D.C. and New York offices of a large, international law firm where he advised Fortune 100 clients on legal, national security, and regulatory matters affecting cross-border business development, financial services, and technology initiatives, including anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and foreign investment (CFIUS) compliance.

Beyond his legal experience, Jack is an Afghanistan veteran and intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve currently supporting U.S. European Command (EUCOM). He previously served in operational roles at two different Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) reserve units and is a graduate of several military leadership and technical intelligence courses.
