Hill Ward Henderson.

Hill Ward Henderson started with a vision of a unique law firm - one that would combine the expansive talent, resources, capabilities and technologies of a larger firm with the responsiveness and personal attention of a smaller firm, to deliver powerful, personal service to every client. This idea for an innovative, client-focused firm grew out of the longstanding relationships and collective experience of three of the area's leading attorneys, Benjamin H. Hill, III, David E. Ward, Jr., and Thomas N. Henderson, III. Acting on this vision, on May 1, 1986, these three and four others established Hill Ward Henderson.
Founding Fathers

Our three named founding shareholders, from Left to Right:
Benjamin H. Hill, III, David E. Ward, Jr. and Thomas N. Henderson, III.

Since inception, Hill Ward Henderson has grown steadily based on our continued allegiance to this founding, client-centered philosophy. Today, with over 100 attorneys offering a wide range of premier commercial legal services in nine different practice areas, our firm's superior reputation for results-oriented service continues to fuel that growth.

As we have grown, our priorities have remained the same. Hill Ward Henderson has as its cornerstone an obligation and a commitment to our valued clients to provide the highest degree of integrity, professionalism and competence to ensure the timely, efficient delivery of high quality legal services. The dividend to our firm has been the long-term relationships we have developed with our clients and with the Tampa community.
