About
Ron Burns
Founder & Principal Attorney, Burns Legal Group
Ron Burns is a commercial litigator whose practice centers on the disputes that determine whether a company keeps its market position: contract fights, competitor conflicts, and the intellectual property that separates a business from everyone else in its category.
He has spent his career on both sides of that work — litigating trademark, trade secret, and copyright matters through injunction practice and trial, and advising companies on how to build, license, and defend an IP portfolio so those fights become less likely in the first place. That advisory experience shapes how he litigates: every strategy is measured against what the client is actually trying to build.
Burns Legal Group was founded on a simple premise — clients should work directly with the attorney handling their matter, and receive counsel that reads like business advice, not a hedge.

Our Approach
Why clients choose Burns Legal Group.
Trial-Tested
Cases are prepared as if they will be tried. Opposing counsel negotiates differently when the record shows you're ready.
IP-Focused Strategy
Intellectual property isn't a side practice here — it informs how we value, position, and resolve commercial disputes.
Business-Minded Counsel
Every recommendation weighs cost, timeline, and relationships against the legal outcome. Winning badly is still losing.
Direct Attorney Access
You work with Ron. No handoffs to a rotating bench of associates, no waiting a week for a status call.
