A capital member of Clark Hill at merely 38 years old, Brad Hughes is an exemplary leader within Clark, the industries he serves, and the community.

Underlying Hughes’ success is his awareness that clients think like businesspeople, not like lawyers, and his application of unique skills, knowledge, and problem-solving to craft creative and business-focused resolutions for them. He works with clients to identify, manage, mitigate, and educate them on the ever-increasing risks which threaten their business. He surrounds himself with a diverse team of brilliant attorneys who cohesively learn from each other while representing clients in negotiations, settlement discussions, or jury trials.
