# BurchillGC
BurchillGC is a London-based fractional general counsel service founded by John Burchill, a seasoned business lawyer with over 30 years of experience across the UK and Europe. The firm advises business owners, CEOs and boards seeking external legal expertise and strategic business guidance without the cost of a full-time in-house counsel.
John brings a distinctive perspective shaped by his background as both a corporate lawyer and C-suite executive. He has worked with household names including Lloyds Bank, TSB, The Body Shop and Domino's Pizza Group, gaining deep knowledge across sectors including financial services, franchising, food and drink, engineering and professional services. This breadth of experience allows him to benchmark clients' practices against leading companies and industry standards.
BurchillGC specialises in three core areas: establishing strong business foundations through proper legal and governance frameworks; optimising commercial relationships and contracts to minimise risk and strengthen negotiating positions; and strengthening board effectiveness through strategic guidance and leadership mentorship. Rather than simply providing legal advice, John builds trusted relationships with clients, emphasising best practices and fostering positive organisational culture.
The firm stands out through its combination of legal expertise and genuine business acumen. John doesn't just advise on legal matters—he guides boards, mentors leaders and advocates for sustainable, culture-driven business success. The fractional model offers businesses access to experienced C-suite perspective on demand, ideal for growing companies requiring sophisticated counsel without permanent overhead.
