Since the start, our mantra has been “Helping people do good things.” True in 2009; equally true today. Our work is most fulfilling when we believe in our clients and what they’re trying to accomplish. This alignment of values leads to exceptional service and advice.

So we don’t take every file that walks in the door. Instead, we actively seek out like-minded clients who we like working with: people and organizations who are involved in worthwhile work with which we’re proud to be associated. We do everything in our power to ensure they’re equally proud to be associated with us.

The first question we ask is “How would traditional law do this?” The second: “Would our clients want us to do it differently?”

With our clients, the answer to the second question is often yes. Everything about what we do, and how we do it—our close client relationships, our approach to providing value, our use of systems and automation, our passion for our work—is rooted in our commitment to shaking the foundations of traditional law.

With MT+Co, you won’t find a laundry list of legal services for sale. We don’t do everything because we don’t want to. We want to do work we’re passionate about and experienced in. That’s why we focus our efforts on areas in which we’re best suited to make a meaningful and measurable positive impact.

For us, that means working primarily with two types of client: forward-thinking businesses doing good things, and Indigenous organizations on the cutting-edge of reconciliation. Collaborating with these clients is where we feel most inspired—and where we do our very best work.

​​Far too often in lawyer-client relationships, there’s little to no human connection. It’s all reduced to a transaction: lawyer provides service; client pays bill. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

That’s not our style. We’re redefining the lawyer-client relationship by bringing back an emphasis on genuine human connection. We want to be the lawyers you enjoy spending time with, whether that’s in person or on Zoom; on the clock or off; in our office or somewhere else. We’re serious about our work, but who says we can’t have some fun along the way?

Life is short, and we spend a lot of it at work. It’s best for everyone if we enjoy each other’s company. That’s especially true in an office without doors.

We’re lucky to be a group of humans who sincerely enjoy working together to help our clients. We look forward to our Monday team meeting, when we gather to prepare for the week ahead, and to Friday afternoons, when we get together to celebrate the week that’s passed. We care about each other’s well being, and invested in one another’s happiness.
