Bury & Co

What Bury & Co does

Bury & Co. is a Virginia-based boutique law firm founded in 1980 by Andrew G. Bury, Jr., focused exclusively on real estate law. The firm operates from three offices across the state — Fairfax (Northern Virginia), Richmond (Central Virginia), and Urbanna (Middle Peninsula) — and maintains licensure in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia. Its practice spans six interconnected areas: Real Estate Transactions and Title Services (delivered alongside title partner Title Associates, Inc.), Real Estate Disputes and Litigation (easements, boundaries, adverse possession, mechanic's liens, HOA disputes), Land Use and Waterfront Law (BZA appeals, riparian rights, VMRC and Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act matters), Trust and Estate Planning (with real property specialization), Business and Contract Law, and Appeals in the Court of Appeals of Virginia and Supreme Court of Virginia. Customer-facing engagement is direct: clients work with senior attorneys rather than junior associates or intake staff, and the firm explicitly avoids billboard and television advertising in favor of attorney referrals.

The firm's headcount is approximately four to five, comprising Founding Partner Andrew G. Bury, Jr., Partner David A. Bury, Of Counsel Sarah C. Ingles (joined 2025 from Hunton Andrews Kurth), and Legal Assistant Kiley Pope (a licensed title agent). Revenue mechanics are a mix of flat-fee transactional work (closings, contract review, estate planning documents) and hourly-rate litigation and appellate representation, with no public pricing disclosure. Distribution is entirely direct: phone, email, website contact form, and the Clio client portal. Technology footprint is minimal — Squarespace-hosted marketing site plus Clio for case management and client access — with no proprietary platforms, no AI/ML capabilities, and no app or API surface. Ownership is concentrated within the Bury family; the firm is a Virginia professional limited liability company with no external investors, parent company, or acquisition activity. Notable matter outcomes include a $400,500 jury verdict for an HOA in a community pier obstruction case, a Supreme Court of Virginia vacatur in a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act matter, and a plea in bar granted for a lender under the voluntary payment doctrine.
