We've weathered literal storms, such as Hurricane Florence,
but nothing quite like the speed and scope of the coronavirus
pandemic.
Through it all, we have been honored to help our clients,

Leadership that Counts
Serving on a board is one of the many ways Ward and Smith
attorneys have become an integral part of solving problems and
leading entities out of choppy seas. Several attorneys were
newly-elected or appointed to a board of directors in 2020.
Most notably, attorney Hugh Overholt
was reappointed to the North Carolina Board of
Transportation in September. In the past, Hugh has been
appointed to the Board of Transportation by Democratic and
Republican governors, specifically Governors Bev Perdue, Pat
McCrory, and Roy Cooper, and now by Speaker Tim Moore. Hugh has
served on the board since 2009, and has helped meet transportation
needs across the state.
