Miller Titerle Law Corporation Vancouver www.millertiterle.com The bright minds working on the world's most important challenges and interesting opportunities need more than a law firm. They need true partners and allies who understand the complexity of what they're tackling — who can help build vision and strategy — and who bring a team of experts who get it. Miller Titerle started in 2009 as a law firm based on the following principles: that a law firm can care about sharing values with clients and can boldly say their purpose is to help people do good things; that important law isn't the sole purview of Big Law and that a focused team of passionate professionals can get you as far (or further) than the large national and international firms; that you are a client with a cause, not an invoice number; and that you should like your lawyer. Since then, the firm has worked exclusively with two types of clients: forward-thinking businesses and Indigenous organizations on the cutting edge of reconciliation. An integrated team supports the game-changing work of clients by breaking down roadblocks and building roadmaps for the large and important opportunities they are chasing. From vision to strategy to execution, Miller Titerle assembles a specialized team that gets the right things done.
