David Burchart

David Burchart is thrilled to return to McMillan as an articling student after a rewarding summer experience with the firm. He is eager to continue building his legal skills amongst a talented and collegial team of lawyers.

David recently graduated from the Juris Doctor program at the University of Victoria (UVic) Faculty of Law. In his third year of law school, he volunteered as a student clinician at The Law Centre: a service of the UVic Faculty of Law that offers free legal assistance, advice and representation to persons who cannot afford a lawyer. In this role David gained valuable experience in a broad range of legal practice areas including human rights, employment and administrative law.

Throughout law school David also participated in several UVic Law intermural sports teams and was a member of the Sports and Entertainment Law Club. Given his love for sports, he was honoured to be selected as one of the winners of the 2024 Sports Law Association student writing competition.

Prior to law school, David obtained a Bachelor of Arts from Kwantlen Polytechnic University, graduating with distinction. During his undergraduate studies he worked as a customer service associate where he began to develop a client-centred mindset.

In his spare time, David takes advantage of beautiful British Columbia in any way he can. He particularly enjoys road and trail running, and hopes to run in the 2025 Vancouver Marathon.
