Leah K. Burton, a member in Steptoe & Johnson PLLC’s Collin County office, has been granted fellowship in the College of Community Association Lawyers (CCAL). This honor is given to fewer than 175 attorneys nationwide who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and commitment to advancing the legal principles and practical tools necessary for community associations to thrive.
The CCAL was established in 1993 by the Community Associations Institute to provide a forum for the exchange of information among experienced legal professionals working for the advancement of community association governance. Its goals include promoting high standards of professional and ethical responsibility, improving and advancing community association law and practice, and facilitating the development of educational materials and programming about legal issues.
Burton serves as general counsel to property owners’ associations, including but not limited to single-family communities, master-planned developments, condominium regimes, and cooperatives in all aspects of corporate governance, including governing document creation, amendment and interpretation, contract review, collection of delinquent assessments, restrictive covenant enforcement, alternative dispute resolution, and federal and state law compliance.
