Rob Miller

Rob, at the helm of MT+Co., wears multiple hats with ease: he's not only the CEO and chairperson but also a co-founder who brings a unique blend of passion for entrepreneurship and deep legal expertise in sectors critical to Canada's future — Indigenous, natural resource, energy, and corporate law. His mission? To foster initiatives that drive reconciliation, boost Indigenous economic involvement, and spearhead innovative projects in resources and infrastructure that also yield social benefits.

Rob's dedication extends beyond the corporate realm. He actively contributes to the governance of various organizations focused on purposeful and Indigenous economic development, offering both advisory and fiduciary insights.

At the core of Rob's legal practice is a commitment to advising Indigenous governments, economic development corporations, and businesses. He navigates complex issues spanning commercial law, taxation, rights and titles, and natural resource management. A significant portion of his work is dedicated to assisting First Nations through the intricacies of resource and infrastructure projects on their traditional lands, ensuring they have a say in the environmental assessment processes, and forging agreements that respect their heritage and future economic prospects.

Rob's knack for developing strategies that align economic development with the stewardship of cultural heritage underscores his nuanced understanding of the delicate balance required in such endeavors. His regulatory expertise is broad, covering the needs of resource developers and lenders in achieving their commercial objectives while adhering to regulatory, social license, and natural resource guidelines, with a notable specialization in clean energy and climate change sectors.

Not just a high-achiever in the legal and business world, Rob has a lighter side too — he once prided himself on his beer-drinking prowess, a humorous anecdote he's reluctant to share with his children. His diverse background includes entrepreneurial ventures in the forestry sector, where he gained hands-on experience as a faller and silviculture supervisor.

Rob's legal acumen is well recognized: he has been lauded in Chambers Canada as a leading figure in Aboriginal Law, honored with the Social Purpose Innovator Award by Waterstone MacKay, and listed in Who's Who Legal Guide as a national leader in climate change law. These accolades reflect not just his professional excellence but also his commitment to social and environmental stewardship. With a foundational education in law from the University of British Columbia, where he specialized in Natural Resource Law, and an undergraduate degree in English and Film Studies from the University of Victoria, Rob's journey is one of continuous impact, driven by a blend of legal expertise and a commitment to making a difference.
