Robert Brant is a partner and the Co-head of McCarthy Tétrault’s Indigenous Projects &
Transactions Group. He is an experienced corporate and commercial lawyer, focusing his
practice on mergers & acquisitions, capital markets and projects work as they
relate to Canada’s Indigenous people.
Having spent more than 20 years as the Managing Partner of the firm’s London, England office,
few Canadian lawyers have as much international experience or as many international contacts
to draw upon in crafting solutions to meet the growing needs of Canada’s Indigenous economy
for our Indigenous and non – Indigenous clients alike.
Mr. Brant’s experience extends to a number of different sectors with a focus on all forms of
energy and natural resources. He advises many of our Canadian and foreign corporate clients
including banks and pension funds as well Indigenous-led corporates and the economic
development arms of various Indigenous communities across Canada.
Rob is member of the board of directors of the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business and a
past Chair of both the Canada-UK Chamber of Commerce and the Maple Leaf Trust where he
remains a director of both.
He is a regular speaker on a broad range of economic development issues as they relate to
Indigenous communities and is a proud member of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, a Kanyen’kéha (Mohawk) community and territory located halfway between Toronto and Montreal.
