Last week, Harper Meyer proudly participated in a memorable 2025 Tribute Dinner honoring the life and legacy of its late founding partner, George R. Harper. The evening marked a milestone for the banking community as he was formally inducted into the Cuban Banking Study Group Hall of Fame. The recognition celebrates his profound contributions to the development and advancement of banking in Cuba and other nations, as well as his exemplary record of integrity, leadership, and social responsibility.
The induction ceremony gathered colleagues, peers, and long-time collaborators from across the legal and business sectors. Harper Meyer was represented by its other founding partners, along with several partners who attended to honor his legacy. The event also held a deeply personal significance as Steven Harper delivered the official induction in honor of his father, sharing heartfelt reflections on his character, vision, and commitment to ethical progress in the banking industry.
George Harper’s legacy holds a permanent place in the life of the firm. His influence remains present in its mission, its standards, and the character of the legal professionals who carry his work forward. As Harper Meyer reflects on this well-deserved honor, it remains deeply grateful for his enduring impact. His values continue to guide its culture and his commitment to integrity lives on in every practice group. Those who worked alongside him remember not only a brilliant legal mind but a mentor who believed in elevating others through clarity, fairness, and a deep respect for the profession.
