Burtch Law

Founded in April 2016 by Douglas R. Burtch, Burtch Law has rapidly established itself as a formidable presence in Richmond’s legal landscape. Drawing inspiration from his father’s distinguished 50-year legal career and driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, Douglas built a firm that delivers strategic legal counsel across employment law, school law, administrative law and business disputes.

In just nine years, the boutique firm of three attorneys has earned a reputation for excellence. Both Douglas and Jack W. Burtch Jr. are rated “AV Preeminent” by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating for legal ability and ethical standards, and Jack is a past recipient of Virginia Lawyers Weekly’s “Leader in the Law” honor.

Burtch Law prides itself on cultivating enduring client relationships that span years, not just months. The firm’s approach resonates with clients who appreciate their strategic edge and thorough understanding of complex legal matters. This success hasn’t come without challenges —the firm navigates a constant flow of both preventative legal issues and crisis situations, carefully balancing urgent matters with strategic planning in an era where clients expect immediate action.

Beyond legal practice, Burtch Law demonstrates commitment to community service through board participation in local charitable and religious organizations. The firm extends its expertise to schools and nonprofits, often at discounted rates, furthering their mission of positive community impact.

With a streamlined, tight-knit team, Burtch Law fosters a positive work environment that prioritizes the importance of work-life balance, emphasizing family, friends and personal time.

For strategic employment and education law counsel backed by recognized expertise and client-focused service, Burtch Law stands as a new pillar of legal excellence in the commonwealth.
