Alan H. Kent specializes in construction law, business litigation and alternative dispute resolution. He often serves as an arbitrator for large, complex construction and commercial contract disputes.

After first serving as Trial Counsel for the U.S. General Services Administration, Mr. Kent entered private practice in 1973. He represents contractors, supplier/manufacturers and owner/developers, on both government and commercial construction projects. He has served as lead counsel in numerous commercial and construction cases nationwide, before federal and state courts, arbitration panels and boards of contract appeals. He has over 25 years' experience as a construction, commercial and international arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association, for which he is a Large/Complex Case Roster designee and a "Master Construction Arbitrator."

Mr. Kent is a former Chairman of the Federal Bar Association Committee on Government Construction Contracting, and he is a member of the ABA Forum on the Construction Industry. He has lectured extensively and authored numerous articles and other publications on construction law and business litigation.

Mr. Kent received B.S.B.A. and J.D. degrees from Boston University, and he holds an LL.M. in Government Contract Law from George Washington University. In 2009, the D.C. Court of Appeals appointed him to an unprecedented fourth consecutive three-year term as its bar admissions counsel, a position in which he serves pro bono. He is a delegate member of both the District of Columbia Judicial Conference and the National Conference of Bar Examiners. He also is a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation and a Fellow of the College of Commercial Arbitrators.
