Brandon Wiener and Milan Vukovic join McCarthy Tétrault, bolstering our Private Client Tax Planning practice
We are pleased to welcome Brandon Wiener and Milan Vukovic to McCarthy Tétrault as Partners in our Toronto office and members of our National Tax Group. Brandon will lead our expanded Private Client Tax Planning practice, building upon our existing expertise and working with Mike Dolson, Troy McEachren and Milan to advise high-net-worth individuals, families, business owners and family offices on Canadian tax planning, including cross-border and international matters. Their arrival strengthens our ability to help private clients navigate complex tax planning and related private wealth matters within a national, full-service platform.
The addition of Brandon and Milan is the latest step in the continued growth of our Chambers Canada Band 1-ranked National Tax Group, the largest tax group among law firms in Canada. In 2025, we added our Charities and Non-Profits practice, which has since earned the same top-tier recognition, and we continue to invest in specialized tax capabilities that respond to the changing needs of our clients. Bolstering our Private Client Tax Planning practice is an important part of that strategy and an area where we intend to build further.
Brandon brings more than two decades of tax experience, with a particular focus on sophisticated personal, corporate and trust planning for high-net-worth individuals and families, business owners, privately-held businesses and family offices, often in a cross-border or international context. He advises on corporate reorganizations, purchases and sales of businesses, investment and business structuring, succession and estate planning, post-mortem planning, trust planning, charitable giving and immigration and emigration. Called to the bars of Ontario and Québec, Brandon clerked for the Honourable Mr. Justice Michel Bastarache at the Supreme Court of Canada.
Milan’s practice focuses on complex Canadian tax matters affecting high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, and privately held businesses. He advises on private wealth and succession planning, immigration and emigration, registered charities, corporate reorganizations, and purchases and sales of businesses — with particular depth in sophisticated planning for large family groups and privately owned enterprises. An active member of the Canadian Tax Foundation, Milan has published on a range of tax matters and lectures periodically at Queen's University Faculty of Law.
“Private clients are increasingly looking for advice that reflects the full picture, from their businesses and investments to succession, family wealth, and cross-border considerations,” said Raj Juneja, Co-Head of the National Tax Group. “Brandon and Milan’s arrival is a significant step in expanding our Private Client Tax Planning practice, which is designed to meet those needs at the highest level.”
“Brandon and Milan add a level of specialization and experience that meaningfully strengthens what we can offer private clients,” said Brett Anderson, Co-Head of the National Tax Group. “These significant additions to our Private Client Tax Planning team will enhance our ability to provide clients more complete support as they navigate the decisions that can shape their wealth over the long term.”
“I’m excited to lead the Private Client Tax Planning group at McCarthy Tétrault,” said Brandon Wiener. “The Firm’s national platform and ability to coordinate complex international matters give us a strong foundation to support private clients wherever their businesses, investments and families take them.”
“Private client mandates can engage several areas of tax at once,” said Milan Vukovic. “Being part of a Tax Group of this scale means we can bring the right tax specialists together around a client without fragmenting the advice.”
