Biography

Matthew Quintieri's practice focuses on procuring, closing, and delivering construction and infrastructure projects, including through public-private partnerships (PPP/P3), collaborative contracting models, and traditional contracting models. He advises on high-value and complex matters throughout every stage of the project lifecycle—from inception to operations—including claims and disputes that arise during implementation.

Matthew's experience spans projects across several asset classes, including healthcare facilities, transit projects, highway projects, correctional facilities, courthouses, educational facilities, energy projects, industrial projects, mining projects and residential projects.

Matthew's prior work experience includes serving as in-house counsel at Infrastructure Ontario, where he advised on several projects in Ontario. In that role, he developed a deep understanding of the problem points, commercial considerations, and practical realities associated with procuring, closing, and delivering major projects.  While in law school, Matthew was elected to serve as an editor-in-chief of the Ottawa Law Review.
