ASSOCIATE LAWYER
Harrison Giovannetti is an Associate Lawyer at ME Law Professional Corporation, a litigation boutique focused on complex commercial disputes, shareholder conflicts, injunctions, and high-stakes strategic advocacy. Following his graduation from Queen’s Law in 2021, Harrison brings a unique combination of in-house corporate experience and active commercial litigation practice — a pairing that gives him a grounded, commercially realistic perspective on the disputes ME Law handles.
Harrison holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Dean’s List With Distinction) and a Juris Doctor from Queen’s University, where he was awarded the Osler Hoskin & Harcourt LLP Entrance Scholarship. Before joining ME Law, he articled at one of Canada’s most significant financial infrastructure companies — where he advised senior executives on privacy legislation, employment law compliance, and the company-wide impact of Quebec’s amended language legislation. His compliance work further deepened his understanding of commercial contracts, regulatory risk, and the corporate environment in which ME Law’s clients operate.
Most recently, Harrison practiced as an Associate Lawyer, where he independently managed commercial litigation files across loan enforcement, commercial tenancy, and contract disputes — conducting examinations for discovery and appearing before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on contested motions. At ME Law, Harrison applies that courtroom experience alongside a deep understanding of corporate and regulatory frameworks to advance his clients’ positions with precision and commercial insight.
