Rob Brant on why Indigenous Nations now anchor Canada’s investment case

At a time when Canada’s ability to attract capital and deliver major projects increasingly depends on Indigenous participation, Rob Brant sits at the centre of some of the country’s most consequential commercial transactions. A Partner at McCarthy Tétrault and Co-Head of the firm’s Indigenous Projects and Transactions Group, Brant advises on mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, and energy and natural-resource deals where Indigenous Nations are integral to transaction structure and execution. After more than twenty years as Managing Partner of the firm’s London, England office, working with global investors and banks, his practice now reflects a critical shift in Canada’s project economy: the integration of Indigenous Nations into the country’s most complex and capital-intensive deals.About Breakthrough NationBreakthrough Nation spotlights people whose ambition, grit, and sense of duty are moving Canada forward.
