WHEN LITIGATION IS NOT THE SOLUTION….

Hall Booth Smith, P.C. proudly offers alternatives to litigation in resolving disputes and conflicts that arise in the course of everyday life and business. In addition to our litigation experience, our Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) group of attorneys offer a wealth of mediation and arbitration experience from all sides of the table. We recognize that disputes arise which lend themselves more effectively to resolution in a cooperative rather than adversarial environment. Our ADR attorneys are skilled through years of experience and alternative dispute resolution training and certification. When selecting an HBS mediator, you will experience the comfort of playing an active role in resolution through confidential and constructive negotiation. Our mediators excel in facilitating a well-informed and efficient mediation process by which the parties mutually resolve their differences. At the conclusion, we assist in crafting an agreement which embodies the letter and spirit of the parties’ mutual intent.

Mediation conducted by our highly trained and experienced mediators offers an informative and comfortable atmosphere conducive to communication and cooperation. We have found over the years that by facilitating open and honest communication between the parties while recognizing motivating factors unique to each situation we can consistently provide a satisfying and successful mediation experience. Parties leave the alternative dispute resolution process feeling fully informed, completely engaged, and integrally invested in the outcome. From beginning to end, we accompany the parties in mediation to their own unique solutions. We provide a comfortable mediation environment and are fully equipped to provide mediation and arbitration services to resolve disputes in many areas including, but not limited to:

Since the firm’s inception, HBS has embraced the value of diversity, and we continue to cultivate an environment of inclusion and success for all individuals.  We are committed to a cohesive and productive work environment where our varied cultures, backgrounds, ethnicities, and perspectives are communicated, understood, and embraced to enrich our employees and best serve our clients.

Our Commitment
Our efforts to enhance our diverse environment are not restricted to minority employees.  Instead, we believe that everyone, regardless of his or her race, age, or gender, must be included in our diversity mission in order to ensure its success.   The firm’s Diversity Committee is comprised of partners and senior staff members who ensure our diversity mission is not just a sentiment but is also a part of the fabric of HBS.     

HBS actively participates in a variety of events and sponsorships geared towards highlighting the importance of diversity, and the firm continuously seeks opportunities to enhance our diversity program.  This includes involvement with organizations such as the Corporate Counsel for Women of Color and the Minority Corporate Counsel of America as well as our internal mentor/protégé program, in which our senior, female and minority attorneys reach out and mentor other women and minority attorneys and clients.
