Harry Meiteen

Biography description

Harry Meiteen helps construction and infrastructure projects move forward. His growing practice encompasses construction contract drafting, project advice and commercial real estate matters, providing clients with coordinated legal support from early development through construction and completion. Harry drafts and negotiates standard-form and bespoke agreements for a range of stakeholders across the construction industry. As projects unfold, he helps clients interpret their contracts, address emerging claims, and engage in project dispute resolution and negotiation where needed.

Prior to Miller Thomson, Harry practised at leading construction law boutiques in Vancouver, handling disputes involving contractual interpretation, negligence claims against consultants, and delay and payment claims. Seeing how risks become disputes led him to develop a front-end construction practice focused on identifying and addressing risks early through clear agreements.

Harry volunteers with Access Pro Bono’s Court of Appeal Program. He stays actively involved in the bar and construction industry through the Canadian Bar Association, BC Branch’s Construction Law, Sexual & Gender Diversity Alliance and Young Lawyers – Lower Mainland sections, and the Ontario Bar Association’s Construction and Infrastructure Law Section.
