Malcolm Macpherson is the National Chair of the Indigenous Practice at Whitelaw Twining. He has over 20 years of varied legal and negotiation experience since he graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto. Having built up one of Canada’s leading practices in the Indigenous space, he is often contacted by the media to comment on new and emerging developments in this area, and has become an integral and trusted advisor to many Indigenous nations throughout Canada who rely on his counsel on a near daily basis.
Malcolm has a keen interest in the Canadian energy sector and serves as a governor of the Canadian Energy Executive Association. He is of the view that Canada’s Indigenous nations are by virtue of the rights they hold, co-resource rulers of Canada’s vast wealth of natural resources, and very much enjoys being at the centre of dialogue in this legal and political arena.
When not at work, Malcolm enjoys family time with his wife Savanagh and five children.
