Dunkiel Saunders Elliott Raubvogel & Hand

What Dunkiel Saunders Elliott Raubvogel & Hand does

SRH Law (formerly Dunkiel Saunders Elliott Raubvogel & Hand) is a Burlington, Vermont-based law firm founded in 2001 and now operating under a simplified brand reflecting its current partner structure (Saunders, Raubvogel, and Hand). The firm delivers legal advisory and advocacy services across four primary practice areas: education law, civil litigation, land use and municipal law, and energy and environmental regulation. It is a Certified B Corporation, an unusual status for a law firm that signals a values-driven, mission-aligned positioning, and it explicitly serves clients whose work it considers socially constructive.

The firm serves a horizontally diversified client base including businesses, nonprofit organizations, cooperatives, government entities, and individuals. Named clients span renewable energy developers and utilities (Green Mountain Power, Avangrid Renewables, Greenbacker Capital, MHG Solar, Catamount Solar, Encore Renewable Energy, VGS Renewable Natural Gas, Novus Energy Development), large nonprofits and community organizations (Planned Parenthood New England, Vermont Energy Investment Corporation, Champlain Housing Trust, Intervale Center, Flexible Capital Fund), cooperatives (Hunger Mountain Co-op), municipal clients (Saint Albans Vermont), and consumer brands (Seventh Generation). The firm has 11-50 employees and operates from a single Burlington headquarters at 91 College Street, serving clients primarily in Vermont and the broader New England region.

The business model is traditional professional services revenue: hourly and project-based legal fees billed through direct attorney-client engagements. Go-to-market is sales-led and community-driven, relying on the firm's B Corp reputation, community sponsorships (e.g., the Justice Gala, VT Corporate Cup), active social media presence across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and a content/blog channel on the firm website. Recent strategic activity has focused on organic growth through internal partner promotion (Malachi Brennan, 2024) and new attorney hiring (Alex Arroyo), alongside brand simplification via the 2024 rebrand from Dunkiel Saunders Elliott Raubvogel & Hand to SRH Law.
