What Hendrick Phillips Salzman & Siegel does

Hendrick Phillips Salzman & Siegel (HPSS Law) is a privately held professional corporation specializing exclusively in construction law. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the firm operates additional offices in Allentown and Macungie, Pennsylvania, employing 11 attorneys (four partners, four counsel, three associates) supported by paralegals and administrative staff. Its practice covers the full lifecycle of construction legal work, including contract negotiation and drafting, public contract law and bid protests, architect/engineer design liability, changes and differing site conditions, construction defects, delay and impact claims, defaults and terminations, surety law and bond claims, construction litigation, arbitration and mediation, mechanic's liens, creditors' rights, labor and employment, and OSHA defense. The firm serves contractors, construction managers, specialty trade contractors, subcontractors, and property owners, with a notable concentration of expertise in the roofing industry, where it serves as General Counsel for the North/East Roofing Contractors Association.

The firm's go-to-market is event- and content-driven professional services marketing: attorneys regularly publish in Professional Roofing Magazine, present webinars to industry associations, and speak at conferences including the International Roofing Expo, Western States Roofing Expo, LegalCon, NECA, and state roofing contractor associations. Marketing channels extend to email newsletters, podcasts (The Construction Leading Edge, The Roofer Show), and ongoing thought leadership on regulatory developments (OSHA COVID-19 standards, Davis-Bacon updates, OSHA Severe Violator Enforcement Program changes).

Revenue mechanics follow the traditional law firm model: hourly professional-services billing for litigation, arbitration, contract drafting, employment matters, surety/bond claims, and mechanic's lien work, with rates varying by attorney experience level and multi-year engagement structures. Specific rates and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. Customer concentration is by industry (construction), not by individual client, and the firm holds no external institutional investment.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Ogletree Deakins: National employment and labor law firm with deep construction industry presence, including OSHA defense for construction employers. Direct overlap with HPSS's labor/employment and OSHA work but a much broader practice footprint.
• Holland & Knight: National full-service firm with a recognized construction industry team handling large public and private projects. Competes for larger construction matters that exceed HPSS's capacity.
• Akerman LLP: Major Florida-headquartered firm with a strong construction practice and significant presence in the Southeast. Comparable overlap on construction litigation and contract work for contractors and owners in the region.
• Bradley Arant Boult Cummings: Major Southeast-based firm with a strong construction practice serving contractors, owners, and developers. Competes in HPSS's home market and across the Southeast for construction transactional and dispute work.
• Baker Donelson: Large multi-jurisdictional firm with a substantial construction practice serving contractors, design professionals, and owners across the Southeast. Wider portfolio of services makes it a broad incumbent alternative rather than a pure construction boutique.
• Carlton Fields: Florida-based national firm with a construction and design professional practice that overlaps with HPSS's contract, defect, and dispute work, particularly in the Southeast corridor.
• Fisher Phillips: National labor and employment firm with a dedicated construction industry practice group. Closely comparable to HPSS on the OSHA, labor, and employment side, though HPSS retains a broader construction-law identity.

Direct peers

• Smith Currie & Hancock: Long-established construction law firm headquartered in Atlanta with offices across the Southeast. Competes head-to-head with HPSS for the same construction clients in the same core Atlanta/Southeast market.
• Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis: Full-service firm with a recognized construction practice group based in Nashville and Atlanta, representing general contractors, subs, and owners. Competes for mid-market and larger construction mandates in HPSS's primary geography.
• Peckar & Abramson: Largest U.S. construction law firm, with deep national coverage of contract drafting, litigation, and dispute resolution for contractors, subs, and owners. Directly comparable to HPSS in core practice focus, but significantly larger and geographically broader.
