McMillan

On behalf of McMillan LLP, I am pleased to announce the formation of McMillan Vantage Policy Group, a new national, full-service public affairs firm—the latest demonstration of our commitment to providing our clients with innovative solutions.

McMillan Vantage is the only Canadian public affairs consultancy anchored in a national law firm offering services to Canadian and international clients. You can expect sophisticated public affairs counsel from Charles Chevrette, Timothy Cullen, Stockwell Day, Dwight Duncan, Mary Flynn-Guglietti, Annik Forristal, Richard Jones, Robin Junger, Richard Mahoney, Tim Murphy, Mark Resnick, John Reynolds and Mike Richmond. They are joined by Robyn Osgood, who will lead the strategic communications practice of the consultancy. Together, they offer government relations counsel, policy and regulatory analysis, and strategic communications services.

A key feature of the new consultancy is the McMillan Vantage Advisory Board chaired by McMillan Vantage Managing Director Richard Mahoney. Its members include former federal and provincial cabinet ministers, deputy ministers, party leaders and campaign chairs, as well as media and issue management experts. Advisory Board members will vet proposed client strategies and communications, simulating the scrutiny clients often face as they deal with stakeholders such as governments, regulators, shareholders, customers and the media.

We are proud to have such an accomplished group of professionals at McMillan Vantage. They have counselled prime ministers and premiers, and held political office. They have advised Board chairs and C-suite executives, and many sit on Boards themselves. Collectively, they represent deep knowledge and experience in a range of areas including, but not limited to, energy, transportation, healthcare, tele-communications, Indigenous affairs, manufacturing, financial technology, agriculture, infrastructure, trade, financial services, aviation, procurement and communications at the federal, provincial-territorial and municipal levels.

For companies operating in complex regulatory environments, McMillan Vantage offers public affairs counsel to advance priorities and reduce the regulatory, business and reputational risks to which they may be exposed.
