Alec Robertson, Q.C.
Counsel, Vancouver
Until 1995, Alec Robertson practised general business law and administrative law as a partner at Davis LLP. The business law practice included a number of forestry-related projects, principally for Daishowa Paper Manufacturing Co. Ltd. of Japan, commercial development on Indian lands and business acquisitions and dispositions. The administrative law practice focused on professional governing bodies, principally the Registered Nurses Association of British Columbia, for whom he was general counsel for many years. 
In 1995, Alec left private practice to become the full-time Chief Commissioner of the B.C. Treaty Commission. The Treaty Commission is the independent body which monitors and facilitates treaty negotiations between First Nations in British Columbia and the governments of Canada and British Columbia. Alec's term as Chief Commissioner expired in May 1998 and he returned to practise with Davis. Alec received his bachelor of commerce and bachelor of laws from the University of British Columbia in 1955 and 1957 respectively. In 1958, he received his master of laws degree from Harvard Law School. He returned to British Columbia and, in 1959, was admitted to practise law in the province. In the past, Alec donated his time to several associations, including the Canadian Bar Association, of which he was president of the B.C. Branch, the B.C. Law Foundation of which he was chair, a member of the National Task Force on Gender Equality in the Legal Profession and a co-author of its report entitled "Touchstones for Change".
