History

Neal was a long-time member of the Law Society of Upper Canada and was the founder of Kearney Law Office (now known as Burchett Law1), a thriving 30+ year Newmarket law practice. In typical “Neal” fashion, he began “planning” his transition from practice as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer. Neal’s plan was simple – ensure his family and friends were taken care of. A big part of this plan was ensuring he chose the right person to take over, and to take care of, his law firm, his clients, his colleagues, and his friends.

Neal ultimately chose to hand over his law firm to Christine Burchett and her law firm, CL Burchett Professional Corporation. Christine possesses years of legal and commercial transaction experience, gained within national and global companies, public service environments, and as an independent consultant. Although Christine only knew Neal for nine (9) short months, she was, and remains, deeply honored by Neal’s decision to hand over what was a vital part of his life.

Christine, with Neal’s agreement and support, chose to retain the full flavor and focus of Neal’s law firm, as well as its indispensable team, the latter of which contributed to, and continues to be integral in, the success of Neal’s law practice. Burchett Law1 thus remains an active and thriving Newmarket law firm and continues to provide the same legal services – Real Estate, Wills and Estates, and Business Law, with care, candor and competence.
