The Burgess Law Group

What The Burgess Law Group does

The Burgess Law Group is a Phoenix-based boutique law firm specializing in commercial bankruptcy and restructuring, loan enforcement and creditor's rights, labor and employment law, civil litigation, and alternative dispute resolution. Founded by Juliet S. Burgess as Founding Partner and led by Todd A. Burgess as Managing Attorney, the firm operates with approximately seven team members — five attorneys, a paralegal, and an office manager. Its attorneys collectively bring decades of experience obtained at international firms including Greenberg Traurig and Littler Mendelson, with practice credentials spanning Chapter 11 corporate bankruptcies, distressed-asset transactions, employment litigation, and multi-district litigation. The firm does not maintain proprietary technology products; service delivery is entirely attorney-led professional services.

The firm targets business entities across the size spectrum — from Fortune 500 companies to startups — across verticals including equipment and mortgage finance, manufacturing, alternative fuels, government/defense contracting, distressed healthcare, airlines, trucking, real estate development, and franchise and hospitality. Notable client engagements include Chapter 11 representations for GM (Remy International), Chrysler, First Magnus Financial, and Hayes Lemmerz, as well as ongoing representation of national banking associations, asset-based lenders, and executive-level employees. Service delivery is supported by active participation in the American Bankruptcy Institute, Federal Bar Association, State Bar of Arizona, Maricopa County Bar Association, and Turnaround Management Association.

The business model is professional services billing — hourly fees, fixed fees for defined matters, and contingency arrangements where applicable. Geographic reach is regional, covering Arizona, California, and federal-level matters. Marketing is conducted through thought leadership publications (Arizona Employment Letter, HR Laws, HR Daily Advisor, Arizona Attorney magazine), earned media (Voyage Phoenix, Phoenix Business Journal, AZ News Media), professional association leadership, and individual-partner awards (Best Lawyers in America, Southwest Super Lawyers, ABI 40 Under 40, Sandra Day O'Connor Lifetime Achievement Award). No external investors, parent company, or institutional ownership is indicated; the firm is privately held by its partners.
