Jeanne Bynum Hipes has been a legal gladiator for her clients since commencing law practice in 1984. An aggressive litigator and negotiator, Jeanne has been advocating for her corporate executive client base in one capacity or another during virtually all of her 20+ years of law practice. Jeanne brings a wealth of complex, commercial litigation experience to her clients’ legal issues, top-notch corporate experience, employment law advocacy, and a lengthy record of dispute resolution success. She has incomparable experience in representing both plaintiffs and defendants, both individuals and corporations of all sizes, from Mom and Pop to Fortune 100 multi-billion dollar corporations.
Jeanne has developed and used her skills in multiple forums—mediation, arbitration, administrative hearings, bench trials, jury trials, appellate courts and settlement negotiations— both in Georgia and in other states, as well as abroad. She has lived in and understands the corporate world. Her breadth of experience has equipped her to “know the enemy” and conquer it. Yet her clients often comment that she has a rare sensitivity to and compassion for their circumstances, which makes her a good listener and easy to talk to and understand.
In dealing with business clients, Jeanne recognizes that the individuals who run the business make the business, and she is skilled at listening to business executives as they explain their needs, be they individual or business needs. Jeanne is dedicated to giving her business executive clients excellent legal service, whether they are executives seeking employment with or severance from a corporation, or executives representing corporations seeking to hire or terminate individuals, resolve a contract dispute, fight against business fraud, theft or other torts, or develop necessary business and employment contracts. Both individual and Fortune 100 clients have found Jeanne to be responsive to their needs and a strong advocate for their interests.

David vs. Goliath
When I was illegally terminated from a Fortune 500 company, we had a hard time finding an attorney to take our case.

"I endorse this lawyer! Jeanne is a ferocious advocate for her clients; at the same time, she’s extremely pleasant to be around."
"Jeanne is an exceptional attorney. She brings a rare blend of strong advocacy, kindness, compassion and creativity to the table. These strengths allow her to be effective in cases that other lawyers might be inclined to turn down. She is also very pleasant and easy to talk to, which makes her a pleasure to work with."
"Ms. Hipes is one of the smartest lawyers I have ever worked with. I was impressed by the depth of her experience and her openness to using and developing new negotiating techniques. She is one of the few lawyers I know who has mastered the art of staying professional while strongly advocating for her client. She is personable. Not only do I enjoy working with her, I would hire her if I needed an employment lawyer."
