Katie D.B. Burchette

I am a big believer in Zig Ziglar’s saying: “You don’t build a business. You build people, and the people build the business.” Whether you are with a Fortune 500 company or comprise a one-person shop, how you partner with other people and organizations often shapes your success as a business. I help clients to find the right opportunities to grow and thrive through this process, whether that involves onboarding a new employee, addressing workplace disputes, drafting internal policies, or protecting your rights in litigation.

Katie concentrates her practice in the areas of commercial litigation and employment law. Prior to engaging in private practice, Katie served as a law clerk to the Honorable James L. Gale, Superior Court Judge for Complex Business Cases. Katie advises her clients on a variety of matters such as intra-corporate disputes, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, employment law matters including Americans with Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Family and Medical Leave Act, North Carolina Wage and Hour Act, Title VII, Retaliatory Employment Discrimination Act, and National Labor Relations Act. Katie also has experience in trade secret litigation and the Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
