Shawn Harmon is a Partner at C3Legal Inc. and a Research Associate at 鲍鱼tv University. His practice spans all aspects of insurance law, from coverage, to claims, to conflicts, as well as other areas of law, and his research聽encompasses issues related to the governance and regulation of health and emerging technologies, and the interaction of the research and governance setting with commercial interests (particularly intellectual property). He is also interested in the operationalization of values in law, social and health equity, and the ways that the law and its functioning can be improved by drawing on the rich moral foundation and practices of Indigenous Peoples.

Shawn is currently a co-investigator on the CIHR-funded project,聽'Public Health Governance', which examines public health experiences and governance across Canada in the wake of the acute period of COVID, and aims to collaboratively design a public health framework for Canada. He also serves on the NSHA Research Ethics Board. Recent work has resulted in reports to government on data use and on immunization, and on potential legislative responses to Indigenous-specific racism in healthcare.

Past work has examined the nature of governance and role of socio-moral values in regulation relating to biobanks, regenerative medicine, and public health interventions, and in the realization of human rights in multiple settings. He has worked with the Argentine government in the development of biomedical legislation, and made representations to Taiwanese agencies.
