The Design Professional Services Team of Hamilton Stephens Steele + Martin, PLLC draws on years of experience by our lawyers advising and defending design professionals in and around North Carolina and South Carolina, from contract negotiation through all phases of litigation. We are oriented by results and insurer metrics, while never losing focus on the insured client and their goals. We have courtroom and appellate experience. We have enjoyed favorable outcomes trying cases before juries, judges, and arbitrators. Whether we are building an arbitration panel, empaneling a jury, or making venue decisions, we understand the players and key demographics. Our team has represented clients in several seminal appellate cases, including, Kaleel v. Ashby (effectively limiting indemnity in the construction context to parties with express indemnity contract provisions) and Blaylock Grading Co. v.
