About

Hall Booth Smith opened an office in Columbus in 2008 to meet the complete legal needs of clients in Georgia and beyond. Our Columbus office enjoys a rich history and is now housed in the iconic five-story glass building on 1st Avenue in Uptown that was formerly the headquarters of Carmike Cinemas.

Our team of attorneys in Columbus concentrate their practice in the areas of medical malpractice defense, employment law, transportation, family law, and wills and trusts. They also offer comprehensive business solutions and litigation related to corporate and partnership matters, tax issues, fiduciary litigation, business transactions, contracts, and other day-to-day business needs.

With nearly 400 attorneys, Hall Booth is proud to be one of the fastest growing full-service law firms. Since HBS was founded in 1989, we have proactively added new specialty practice groups and office locations to meet the evolving needs of our clients. We look forward to working alongside clients in Columbus for many years to come.
