About Lynn
Lynn Garson began her academic path at Tulane University, where she completed a Bachelor of Arts in 1975. She went on to earn a J.D. from Emory University School of Law in 1981. Those formative years set the stage for a long legal career rooted in the Atlanta area and the Georgia bar.
Her professional title is counsel at Baker & Hostetler LLP, where she has practiced for many years. At the firm she provides legal support and advice on matters that intersect law, health systems and policy. Colleagues describe her work as careful and thorough; clients have relied on her counsel for complex regulatory and compliance questions.
Garson’s association choices reflect the subjects that appear most often in her work. She holds current membership in the American Health Lawyers Association and participates in Friends of Emory Psychiatry. Those affiliations point to an engagement with health law and the legal issues that affect medical and behavioral health providers. She brings that perspective to matters concerning regulatory obligations, patient privacy and institutional governance.
She is a current member of the State Bar of Georgia and practices under Georgia jurisdiction. That membership keeps her tied to the local legal community and to rules that govern practice in the state. Over time she has built a practice that mixes counseling, risk assessment and transactional work for organizations operating in the health sector.
Outside of firm responsibilities, Garson has maintained connections to academic and professional groups. Her Emory law degree and ongoing ties to Emory-affiliated organizations link her professional life back to the university community where she trained. Those ties occasionally lead to collaborative opportunities with clinicians and administrators working on policy and compliance projects.
Her approach is pragmatic. She aims to translate complex regulatory language into usable advice for boards, administrators and counsel. Her office handles counseling and compliance matters for health-related entities and related organizations. She currently serves as counsel at Baker & Hostetler LLP, where her practice addresses health and related regulatory matters.
