Timothy J. Burnham
B.Comm, LLB

Partner, Mediator

Tim is the President and managing partner of Burnham Law Group.

Tim’s first degree was a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Alberta, where he majored in management and organization and minored in marketing. He graduated with distinction in 2003. While completing his business degree, he spent 3 years working in a commercial real estate brokerage in downtown Edmonton. Tim then went on to complete a law degree at the University of Alberta, from which he graduated in 2006. While in law school, he worked as a residential Realtor for 3 years. These experiences gave Tim valuable knowledge relating to both commercial and residential real estate transactions, which he uses to help the firm’s clients achieve the best results possible in their real estate transactions.

Upon completion of law school, Tim and his family moved to Grande Prairie in 2006 and he started working at this firm. During his first few years practicing law, he focused primarily on family law and civil litigation, gaining a great deal of experience in these areas and becoming qualified as a mediator and collaborative family law lawyer. More recently, Tim’s practice has shifted from what was primarily litigation to more of a solicitor practice. For many years now he spends the majority of his time helping clients with corporate matters, estate planning and estate administration, and residential and commercial real estate transactions. His family law practice is limited and primarily focuses on mediations and high net worth matrimonial property divisions.

Tim uses his experience as an entrepreneur and from his bachelor of commerce degree to work with his corporate clients to find innovative and practical solutions to their challenges. He enjoys working with businesses of all sizes in helping them grow and manage their legal risks. Tim also uses his experience as a realtor in helping his clients to achieve their real estate goals, whether residential, investment, commercial, or agricultural.

Tim also credits his early experience in litigation in allowing him to provide a range of strategic options for clients who are trying to effectively manage business concerns, deal with estate issues, or real estate transactions. His approach is flexible, and he strives to use all of the tools that are available to assist his clients in achieving their goals through negotiation and sometimes through litigation.
