Kevin Garrison is an associate in Baker Donelson's Birmingham office. He concentrates his practice in construction litigation, and is among the few attorneys in Alabama accredited by the U.S. Green Building Council as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Accredited Professional. The certification allows Mr. Garrison to help clients proactively examine and prepare for the unique qualifications and risks that LEED construction may bring, including contract review and litigation preparation.
Mr. Garrison represents primarily owners, contractors, construction supply companies and public building authorities, and coordinates pre-litigation investigations and risk exposure research for clients. Before joining Baker Donelson, Mr. Garrison worked in the office of the Governor of Alabama and was a law clerk to the Honorable W. Keith Watkins, District Judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama.
