Don Leach of the Real Estate and Construction Practice Group was recently elected to the Upper Arlington City Council. Mr. Leach has been involved with the electoral and political process for many years, but election to Council is his first race for office. He was one of the top vote getters and finished ahead of both incumbents on the ballot. Prior to receiving his legal degree, Don was a legislative assistant to the President of the Ohio Senate, and he has been the long time Treasurer for both the Columbus and Upper Arlington School Levy Campaigns. Mr. Leach is a shareholder at the law firm of Buckingham, Doolittle & Burroughs, LLP, and serves as the Managing Partner of the Columbus office.
Mr. Leach was also recently named as one of Ohio’s leading construction law attorneys in the 2005 edition of Chambers USA Guide To America's Leading Lawyers. The law directory is unlike any other US legal directory. Chambers USA researchers conduct over 5,000 in-depth interviews with leading private practice attorneys and key in-house counsel. The directory also contains detailed and independently researched editorials describing each listed law firm and its strengths, details of recent work, quotes from clients and peers, and a list of active clients within each practice.
