SARASOTA, FL – Casey Colburn, LEED AP, a shareholder and land development attorney with Kirk-Pinkerton, P.A., will present a live Continuing Legal Education (CLE) panel presentation on Florida Green Building Law as part of the Florida Bar’s 6th Annual Construction Law Institute in Orlando this weekend.

“I’m looking forward to participating on this panel with Nicole and Peyton, who are among the leaders in Green Building Law in Florida,” said Colburn.
Colburn was chosen to present during the conference due to his unique approach to and diverse experience in government relations and permitting issues affecting green building and real estate, ranging from facilitating stewardship and conservation of family and productive lands, to sustainable development in ecologically sensitive areas, to the reutilization of highly impacted and constrained urban real estate.
