David Merrill is a construction attorney, with a passion for the industry that runs deep. David has always been drawn to the dynamic, hands-on nature of construction – from the planning stages to seeing a project rise from the ground up. For him, it’s more than a profession; it blends creativity, precision, and a deep sense of accomplishment.
David takes pride in guiding contractors, developers, and project stakeholders through the complex legal landscape that comes with construction. He understand that construction law is unique because it intersects with so many areas – contract law, safety regulations, zoning laws, and environmental compliance, to name just a few. This complexity challenges him to stay informed and adaptable, ensuring that his clients receive tailored legal advice that protects their interests at every stage.
Whether negotiating contracts, resolving disputes, or ensuring compliance with local codes, David strives to be a trusted advisor. His commitment to construction law comes from a desire to ensure that the projects that build our cities and communities are not only successful but also legally sound. For him, there’s no greater reward than seeing a well-executed project completed on time, within budget, and on a sound legal foundation. Helping his clients build with confidence is what drives his passion every day.
Education
Honors: Robert H. Bork Moot Court Internal Appellate Competition Champion 2018
When he is not practicing law, David loves to spend his time with his wife and two children — whether it be fishing, golfing, visiting the local parks in Lee County or cheering on the Tennessee Volunteers during football season. At the top of his bucket list: hiking Machu Picchu as family adventure once his kids are older.
