Both he and Mulroney are lawyers at the law firm of Ogilvy Renault. They also attended law school together at Université Laval, in Quebec City along with other prominent Canadian political leaders such as Lucien Bouchard. He also received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1960 from McGill University, where he became a member of the Scarlet Key Honor Society for his leadership. He also holds two honorary doctorates from the University of New Brunswick and Mount Allison University.In the mid 1980s, Meighen was legal counsel to the Deschênes Commission on War Criminals. Today, Meighen is counsel to the law firm Ogilvy Renault, which merged with his former firm Meighen Demers in 2001, and is a member of the McGill University Board of Governors, a director of the Cundill Funds, Sentry Select Capital Corp., and J.C. Clark Ltd. of Toronto. In January 2007, Meighen was appointed as a Commissioner of the Roosevelt Campobello International Park by the Canadian Government.

He is a member of the Banking Trade and Commerce, National Security & Defense and Fisheries committees. Meighen also chairs the Senate Sub-Committee on Veterans Affairs. Meighen was vice-chair of the Senate Committee on National Defence and Security until February 2007 when he and the chair of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, fellow moderate Tory Hugh Segal, were instructed to resign their positions by the Prime Minister's Office.
