PROXY STATEMENT

We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Hill International, Inc. (“Hill” or the “Company”) of proxies to be voted at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held on Wednesday, June 10, 2009, and at any meeting following adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m. eastern time, and it will be held at 303 Lippincott Centre, Marlton, NJ 08053. Stockholders will be admitted beginning at 12:00 p.m. eastern time. We are first mailing this proxy statement and proxy card (including voting instructions) on or about May 11, 2009, to persons who were stockholders at the close of business on April 29, 2009, the record date for the meeting.

VOTING

Who Can Vote?

You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting all shares of the Company’s common stock that you held as of the close of business on the record date. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote with respect to each matter properly brought before the meeting.

On April 29, 2009, there were 39,964,078 shares of common stock outstanding.

In accordance with Delaware law, a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting will be available at the meeting.

Who Is the Record Holder?

You may own common stock either (1) directly in your name, in which case you are the record holder of such shares, or (2) indirectly through a broker, bank or other nominee, in which case such nominee is the record holder.

If your shares are registered directly in your name, we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. If the record holder of your shares is a nominee, you will receive proxy materials from such record holder.

How Do I Vote?

If you are the record holder:

• By Mail. If you choose to vote by mail, mark your proxy, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. Your vote by mail must be received by the close of business on June 9, 2009.

• By Attending the Annual Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting, you can vote your shares in person.

If your stock is held by brokers, banks or other nominees:

If your common stock is held by a broker, bank or other nominee, you will receive instructions from such nominee that you must follow in order to have your shares voted.

If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, you will need to contact the broker, bank or other nominee to obtain evidence of your ownership of common stock on April 29, 2009.

If you hold your shares through a broker, your shares may be voted even if you do not vote or attend the Annual Meeting. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, member brokers who do not receive instructions from beneficial owners will be allowed to vote on the election of Directors.

The method by which you vote will in no way limit your right to vote at the meeting if you later decide to attend in person.

1

If your stock is held in the Hill International, Inc. 401(k)Retirement Savings Plan:

If you are or were an employee and hold shares in the 401(k) Plan, the proxy that you submit will provide your voting instructions to the plan trustee. However, you cannot vote your savings plan shares in person at the meeting. If you do not submit a proxy, the plan trustee will vote your plan shares in the same proportion as the shares for which the trustee receives voting instructions from other participants in the plan.

How Many Votes Are Required?

A quorum is required to transact business at the Annual Meeting. We will have a quorum and be able to conduct the business of the Annual Meeting if the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote are present at the meeting, either in person or by proxy.

If a quorum is present, a plurality of votes cast is required to elect Directors. Thus, a Director may be elected even if the Director receives less than a majority of the shares represented at the meeting. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of nominees than are named in this Proxy Statement.

All other matters to come before the Annual Meeting require the approval of a majority of the shares of common stock present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote.

How Are Votes Counted?

All shares that have been properly voted, and not revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions given. If you sign and return your proxy card, but do not specify how you wish your shares to be voted, your shares represented by that proxy will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors: “for” the nominees for Director.

Proxies marked as abstaining, and any proxies returned by brokers as “non-votes” on behalf of shares held in street name because beneficial owners’ discretion has been withheld as to one or more matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting, will be treated as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. However, any shares not voted as a result of a marked abstention or a broker non-vote will not be counted as votes for or against a particular matter. Accordingly, marked abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of a vote.

How Can I Revoke My Proxy or Change My Vote?

You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by timely delivery of a properly executed, later-dated proxy or by voting in person at the meeting.

Who Will Pay the Expenses of Proxy Distribution?

The Company will pay the expenses of the preparation of the proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies. Proxies may be solicited on behalf of the Company by Directors, officers or employees of the company, who will receive no additional compensation for soliciting, in person or by telephone, e-mail or facsimile or other electronic means. In accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the New York Stock Exchange, we will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners of the Company’s stock.

ITEM 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) is divided into three classes. One class is elected each year for a term of three years.

Two Directors will be elected at this Annual Meeting to serve for a three-year term expiring at our Annual Meeting in 2012. The Board has nominated Brian W. Clymer and Camille S. Andrews to serve for the term expiring in 2012. You can find information about Mr. Clymer and Ms. Andrews below.

The persons named in the proxy card will vote such proxy “for” the election of Mr. Clymer and Ms. Andrews unless you indicate that your vote should be withheld. If elected, each of Mr. Clymer and Ms. Andrews will continue in office until their successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until the earliest of their death, resignation, retirement or removal. Each of Mr. Clymer and Ms. Andrews has indicated to the Company that they will serve if elected. We do not anticipate that either Mr. Clymer or Ms. Andrews will be unable to stand for election, but, if that happens, your proxy will be voted in favor of another person nominated by the Board.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of Mr. Clymer and Ms. Andrews as Directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company’s By-laws, the Company’s business, property and affairs are managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. Members of the Board are kept informed of the Company’s business through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the Board and its committees. We currently have seven members on our Board.

During fiscal 2008 the Board held 13 meetings and the committees held a total of 12 meetings. Each incumbent Director attended more than 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the Board committees of which he was a member during the period he served as a Director in fiscal 2008. Although, we do not have a policy requiring all Directors to attend annual meetings of stockholders, we expect all Directors to attend, absent extenuating circumstances.

Director Independence

Hill currently has, and it is anticipated that after the 2009 Annual Meeting Hill will have, five independent directors on a Board of seven members. They will be: Camille S. Andrews, Brian W. Clymer, William J. Doyle, Alan S. Fellheimer and Eric S. Rosenfeld. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with Hill. In making its determinations regarding director independence, the Board adheres to the independence requirements in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. In making an independence determination, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances regarding any transactions, relationships and arrangements between Hill and the director, and also between Hill and the company or organization with which the director is affiliated. However, except as noted below with regard to the Audit Committee, the Board has not adopted any categorical standards to assist it in making an independence determination. In evaluating the qualifications of directors for appointment to the Audit Committee, the Board also applies the separate SEC independence requirements applicable to such members

5

which provide that they may not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from Hill or any of its subsidiaries other than their directors’ compensation.

The Company has determined that none of the persons identified in the immediately preceding paragraph has any material relationship with Hill, and all of them are independent because none of those persons, nor any member of his or her immediate family is, or has been within the last three years:

• an executive officer or employee of Hill or any of its subsidiaries;

• a partner or employee of Hill’s independent registered accounting firm;

• an executive officer of another company where any of Hill’s present executive officers is or was, at the same time, serving on that company’s compensation committee; or

• a current executive officer or employee of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, Hill for property or services which exceeded the greater of $1 million or 2% of that company’s consolidated revenues.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors, which include guidelines for determining director independence, are published on the Company’s website at www.hillintl.com, in the “Investor Relations” section, and available in print to any stockholder upon request. That section of the website makes available all of the Company’s corporate governance materials, including board committee charters. Those materials are also available in print to any stockholder upon request.

Code of Ethics

All directors, officers and employees of the Company must act ethically at all times and in accordance with the policies comprising Hill’s Code of Ethics which is available on our website at www.hillintl.com, in the “Investor Relations” section, and available in print to any stockholder upon request. Any waiver or any implicit waiver from a provision of the Code of Ethics by Hill’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer or controller, or any amendment to the Code of Ethics must be approved by the Board and must be disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. Hill’s Audit Committee is responsible for applying the Code of Ethics to specific situations in which questions are presented to it and has the authority to interpret the Code of Ethics in any particular situation. If, after investigating any potential breach of the Code of Ethics reported to it, the Audit Committee determines (by majority decision) that a breach has occurred, it will inform the Board of Directors. Upon being notified that a breach has occurred, the Board (by majority decision) will take or authorize such disciplinary or preventive action as it deems appropriate, after consultation with the Audit Committee and/or the Company’s General Counsel, up to and including dismissal or, in the event of criminal or other serious violations of law, notification of the SEC or other appropriate law enforcement authorities.

Communicating Concerns to Directors

The Company encourages all interested persons to communicate any concern that an officer, employee, director or representative of Hill has engaged in illegal or dishonest fraudulent activity, or has violated Hill’s Code of Ethics. Such persons may report their concerns to the Board in one of the following ways: by mail sent to William H. Dengler, Jr., Corporate Secretary, at the Company’s principal executive office: 303 Lippincott Centre, Marlton, NJ 08053; by telephone at (866) 352-2792; or by email addressed to hint@openboard.info. All such communications will be referred to Mr. Dengler who will circulate them to the members of the Board, or in the case of potential violations of the Code of Ethics, to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. If the communication is directed to a particular Director, Mr. Dengler will forward the communication to that Director. The Board does not screen stockholder communications.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Eric S. Rosenfeld, who is a member of our Compensation Committee, served as the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company from its inception until its merger with Old Hill on June 28, 2006. Mr. Rosenfeld did not receive any salary or Director’s fees for his service to the Company in those capacities. William J. Doyle, who is also a member of our Compensation Committee, was an officer of Old Hill from 1979 until 1992.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

During fiscal 2008, the Board of Directors had standing Audit, Compensation and Governance and Nominating Committees. The charter of each committee is available on our website at www.hillintl.com, in the “Investor Relations” section.

Audit Committee. During fiscal year 2008, the Audit Committee consisted of Brian W. Clymer (Chairman), William J. Doyle and Alan S. Fellheimer. Members of the Committee are non-management directors who, in the opinion of the Board, satisfy the independence criteria established by the Board and the standards of the SEC. The Company has determined that Brian W. Clymer qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the rules of the SEC. For additional information regarding the experience and background of Mr. Clymer, see “Item 1 – Election of Directors” above.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by Hill to its stockholders, the Securities and Exchange Commission and others, monitoring the Company’s financial reporting processes and internal control systems, and retaining Hill’s independent auditors and overseeing their audit activities. The Audit Committee reviews the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence, as well as the Company’s compliance with its ethics policies and with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee also reviews and approves any transactions between Hill and any related parties. During fiscal 2008, the Audit Committee met six times. The report of the Audit Committee is included in this proxy statement.

Compensation Committee. During fiscal 2008, the Compensation Committee consisted of Alan S. Fellheimer (Chairman), Brian W. Clymer, William J. Doyle and Eric S. Rosenfeld. The Compensation Committee oversees Hill’s executive compensation programs. The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board for approval the compensation arrangements for all of the Company’s executive officers. During fiscal 2008, the Compensation Committee met five times. The processes of the Compensation Committee are described below in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, under the subsection “ – Role of the Compensation Committee and Management.”

Governance and Nominating Committee. During fiscal 2008, the Governance and Nominating Committee consisted of William J. Doyle (Chairman), Arnaud Ajdler and Alan S. Fellheimer. The Governance and Nominating Committee oversees matters relating to the evaluation and recommendation to the Board of the persons to be nominated for election as directors at any meeting of stockholders, and the persons to be appointed by the Board to fill any vacancy on the Board.

The Governance and Nominating Committee carefully considers all director candidates recommended by our stockholders, and the Governance and Nominating Committee does not and will not evaluate such candidate recommendations any differently from the way it evaluates other candidates. In its evaluation of each proposed candidate, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers many factors including, without limitation, the individual’s experience, character, integrity, demonstrations of judgment and ability, and financial and other special expertise. Any stockholder who wishes to recommend an individual as a nominee for election to the Board should submit such recommendation in writing by mail to Hill International, Inc., 303 Lippincott Centre,

7

Marlton, NJ 08053, Attn: Chairman of Governance and Nominating Committee, together with information regarding the experience, education and general background of the individual and a statement as to why the stockholder believes such individual to be an appropriate candidate for the Board of Directors of Hill. Such recommendation should be provided to Hill no later than 80 days prior to the anniversary of the date of the notice accompanying these proxy materials. During fiscal 2008, the Governance and Nominating Committee held one meeting.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The discussion and analysis which follows pertains primarily to the following executives who, collectively, were Hill’s “named executive officers” during 2008: Irvin E. Richter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David L. Richter, President and Chief Operating Officer, Raouf S. Ghali, President, Project Management Group (International), Frederic Z. Samelian, President, Construction Claims Group and John Fanelli III, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Overview. Historically, Hill’s compensation philosophy has been that it should provide a compensation program for its executive officers that is competitive with the companies Hill considers as its peers for executive employment compensation purposes and fosters executive retention in a manner that furthers Hill’s mission of maximizing long-term stockholder value, client relationships, excellent financial performance, quality of service and employee satisfaction. That philosophy has heretofore been implemented by placing substantial reliance on the payment of executive salaries at the high end of the range of salary compensation received by executives with comparable job responsibilities at those peer companies, as well as the use of year-end bonuses and long term incentive compensation elements.

During 2009, the Compensation Committee will be considering whether various short and long term performance-based compensation components should be added to or substituted within the mix of elements comprising the overall compensation packages paid to Hill’s executive officers.

Performance. The Company’s policy is that the Compensation Committee and the Board will consider an executive officer’s performance in determining his or her base salary. In addition, the Compensation Committee and the Board, in their discretion, may reward performance that has exceeded the particular expectations that were considered in fixing an executive officer’s base salary, and may provide short-term incentives to executive officers to reward performance that exceeds particular expectations in cases where such performance would not otherwise be rewarded by other elements of Hill’s compensation program. However, from a historical perspective, prior to becoming a public company in 2006, it was management’s view that bonuses and bonus plans may cause some executives to focus on their individual performance, or their particular group’s performance, and would not necessarily focus on what is in the best interest of the company, as a whole. In determining whether to make awards of annual bonuses to the named executive officers and to other executives, the Compensation Committee has taken note of management’s historical view in that regard.

The Compensation Committee has not relied in the past on the use of mathematical formulas in considering whether an individual executive’s performance merited recognition through an award of higher compensation or periodic bonuses. During 2009, the Compensation Committee will be considering whether to include awards of formula-based annual bonuses as components of the total compensation packages received by some of its executive officers.

Alignment. The Compensation Committee believes that alignment of the compensation of Hill’s executive officers with the interests of Hill’s stockholders through use of stock-based incentive compensation is one of the core principles of Hill’s compensation philosophy. In light of the facts that Hill’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its President and Chief Operating Officer hold in excess of 32% of Hill’s outstanding shares of common stock, the Compensation Committee has historically been of the view that their interests were aligned

8

with those of Hill’s other stockholders, and that issuance of significant amounts of stock based compensation to those individuals would not necessarily result in an enhancement of the alignment of their interests with our stockholders’ interests. And, inasmuch as the compensation philosophy of Hill’s management prior to the time when the privately owned Hill became a publicly owned company in June 2006 was substantially based on payment of executive salaries targeted at the high end of the range of salaries paid within Hill’s industry, the Compensation Committee has heretofore placed less emphasis on the use of grants of long-term incentive compensation awards to the other named executive officers.

In keeping with the Compensation Committee’s goal of aligning the compensation of Hill’s executive officers with the interests of Hill’s stockholders through use, among other things, of stock-based incentive compensation, the Compensation Committee has decided to make use of various performance based incentive compensation elements in connection with the determination of the total compensation of the named executive officers in 2009 and future years.

Retention. Retention of Hill’s executive officers is one of the core objectives of Hill’s compensation philosophy. Historically, the Compensation Committee has sought to attain that objective primarily through the payment of salaries that compared very favorably to the salaries paid to executives within the company’s industry. During 2009, the Compensation Committee will begin considering how to redesign the named executive officers’ total compensation so that each compensation element may be used to enable Hill to retain the services of its executive officers, consistent with Hill’s overall business strategy.

Determining Compensation. In setting each element of compensation, the Compensation Committee has historically made qualitative assessments of the contributions made by each named executive officer toward Hill’s achievement of its overall business and financial performance. Such assessments have been employed by the Compensation Committee in determining which of the various compensation elements available to it should be included in each named executive officer’s total compensation package, as well as the dollar amount thereof.

The Compensation Committee has not, in the past, used mathematical formulas or other formulas based on particular business segment performance or other measures of company performance to determine any element of Hill’s compensation program or the total compensation program for any of the named executive officers. The reason for not using formulas to link its compensation determinations to any such measures is that the Compensation Committee has historically believed that it can most effectively reward, motivate, challenge and retain Hill’s executive officers by taking into account all of the facts and circumstances of Hill’s and the particular executive officer’s performance and that the appropriate, specific weight for each of the factors and circumstances of performance generally would not be determinable in advance.

During 2009, the Compensation Committee has enlisted and will enlist the services of a compensation consultant to advise the committee with regard to the use of formula based compensation elements, and to make recommendations as to whether and if the committee’s adoption of any of such elements might be appropriate.

Employment Agreements. Irvin E. Richter and David L. Richter have employment agreements with Hill, each of which is for a term expiring on June 27, 2009. These agreements provide that, in the event of the termination of either executive’s employment by Hill without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), Hill will pay the executive a lump sum equal to the remaining balance of his base salary for the remainder of the term of the agreement, but in no event less than one year’s base salary. Each agreement also provides for the continuation of certain benefits upon any such termination without cause, including continuation of health benefits for one year except where comparable health insurance is available from a subsequent employer. The Compensation Committee will enter into negotiations for new employment agreements with Irvin E. Richter and David L. Richter prior to the expiration of those agreements.

Role of the Compensation Committee and Management. As part of the executive compensation decisions made for Hill’s fiscal 2008 year, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the President and Chief Operating Officer made recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the levels of compensation

9

for the named executive officers other than themselves, as well as for other executive officers of Hill. The Compensation Committee also received a compensation analysis regarding Hill’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its President and Chief Operating Officer from Buck Consultants, a full-service human resources consulting company, after which point the Compensation Committee made its determinations and recommendations to the Board for the Board’s approval of the compensation levels for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the President and Chief Operating Officer, as well as the other named executive officers.

Role of Compensation Consultant. Buck Consultants reviewed Hill’s cash and equity-based compensation for its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and for its President and Chief Operating Officer and provided the Compensation Committee with its analyses regarding the base salaries, total cash compensation and total direct compensation (total cash compensation plus long-term compensation) received by the chief executives and chief operating officers of the following group of companies: Diamond Management & Technology Consultants, Inc., Exponent, Inc., ICF International, Inc., GP Strategies Corp., Huron Consulting Group Inc., ENGlobal Corporation, VSE Corporation, LECG Corp. and CRA International, Inc.

By reason of the fact that the companies with whom Hill competes for construction management and project management business and for construction claims business tend to be significantly larger than Hill, the Compensation Committee and Buck Consultants concluded that those direct competitors would not be an appropriate group to use for purposes of analyzing the compensation paid to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the President and Chief Operating Officer. Accordingly, the group of companies identified above was selected on the basis of their size relative to Hill, and the presence within those companies and Hill of similar business model, cultural and philosophical elements. In terms of size measured by total annual revenues during the fiscal year reported most recently prior to the end of Hill’s 2007 fiscal year, the companies within the selected comparator group ranged between $168 million and $653 million.

Equity Grant Practices. The exercise price of each stock option granted to the named executive officers, as well as to other officers of Hill, was the closing price of Hill’s stock on the date of grant. Hill has not in the past and does not intend in the future to coordinate its grants of stock options with the release of material non-public information. Hill has not, as of the date of this proxy statement, adopted a policy covering compensatory equity grants. Hill does not have a policy on the re-pricing of its stock options, but has not previously re-priced any of its options.

Share Ownership Guidelines. Hill does not have a policy with respect to the ownership of its common stock by its named executive officers or other senior executives. As of the date of this report, all of the named executive officers own Company stock.

Tax Deductibility of Compensation. Hill does not have a policy with respect to compliance with the limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which imposes a $1 million limit on the amount that a public company may deduct as an expense for compensation paid to Hill’s named executive officers.

Elements of Compensation.

Base Salary. Hill’s base salaries are targeted at the high end of Hill’s industry and are adjusted to recognize varying levels of responsibility, individual performance, business segment performance, and internal Company issues. The Compensation Committee reviews each executive officer’s base salary on an annual basis. During 2008, Hill’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its President and Chief Operating Officer were paid base salaries of $1,000,000 and $600,000, respectively. The range of salaries paid to the chief executive officers within the comparator group of companies ranged between $333,000 and $1,100,000. The range of salaries paid to the chief operating officers within the comparator group of companies ranged between $300,000 and $600,000.

10

Short-Term Incentive Awards. The Compensation Committee and the Board, in their discretion, may establish short term incentives from time to time. Hill’s objective in providing short term incentives is to reward performance that has exceeded specific expectations in circumstances where no other element of Hill’s compensation program would otherwise reward such performance. During 2008, Hill’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its President and Chief Operating Officer were awarded bonuses of $500,000 and $400,000, respectively. Thus, the total cash compensation paid to them in 2008 was $1,500,000 and $1,000,000, respectively. By comparison, the total cash compensation paid to the chief executive officers and the chief operating officers in the comparator group of companies ranged between $333,000 and $2,096,000 and between $422,000 and $924,000, respectively.

Long-Term Stock-Based Incentive Compensation. In 2007, the Compensation Committee made long term compensation awards to Hill’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee decided to make no awards of stock or stock based incentive compensation to any of the named executive officers in 2008.

Other Compensation. Prior to our merger on June 28, 2006 with our predecessor entity, Old Hill, which was a closely held company, Old Hill provided perquisites, personal benefits and other forms of compensation to certain of its senior officers. Substantially all of the compensation of this nature was discontinued on June 28, 2006 with the effectiveness of the merger of Old Hill into Hill. At this time, the forms of other compensation that are provided to our named executive officers are generally available to all employees of Hill on a non-discriminatory basis. These elements of compensation include, without limitation, benefits packages typical for companies of our size and the option to be paid in cash for vacation, sick days and/or personal days not taken. In addition, Hill’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has historically received payments for, among other things (i) membership in one country club, (ii) one automobile for his use, and (iii) certain life insurance premiums insuring his life. In 2008, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, a payment of $150,000 to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to cover business related expenses in addition to the payments mentioned above.

Compensation for Non-Employee Directors in 2008. Non-employee Directors’ compensation is set by the Board at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. Following the merger of the Company on June 28, 2006, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board approved a compensation and benefit program for non-employee Directors. In developing its recommendations, the Compensation Committee was guided by the following goals: compensation should fairly pay Directors for work required in order to serve on the Board; compensation should align non-employee directors’ interests with the long term interests of stockholders; and the structure of the compensation should be easy for stockholders to understand. The Compensation Committee and the Board approved an annual compensation package for each non-employee director consisting of a $30,000 director’s fee in cash, five-year stock options exercisable for 5,000 shares of common stock of the Company, and stock grants of 6,000 shares of common stock of the Company. In addition, the chairman of the Compensation Committee and the chairman of the Governance and Nominating Committee each receive an annual committee chairman’s fee of $2,000 in cash, and the chairman of the Audit Committee receives an annual committee chairman’s fee of $4,500 in cash.

Employment Agreements

Irvin E. Richter, Hill’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and David L. Richter, Hill’s President and Chief Operating Officer, are each a party to an employment agreement with the Company which is for a term expiring on June 27, 2009. These agreements provide that, in the event of the termination of either executive’s employment by the Company without cause (as defined in each employment agreement), the Company will pay the executive a lump sum equal to the remaining balance of his base salary for the remainder of the term of the respective agreement, but in no event less than one year’s base salary. Each agreement also provides for the continuation of certain benefits upon any such termination without cause, including continuation of health benefits for one year except where comparable health insurance is available from a subsequent employer. In addition, Irvin E. Richter receives payments for (i) membership in one country club, (ii) one automobile for his use, and (iii) certain life insurance premiums, all pursuant to the specific terms of his employment agreement. David L. Richter is reimbursed for the cost of two automobiles, also pursuant to the specific terms of his employment agreement.

Pre-Approval Policy of Audit Services and Permitted Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services and are pre-approved in one of two methods. Under the first method, the engagement to render the services would be entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee, provided (i) the policies and procedures are detailed as to the services to be performed, (ii) the Audit Committee is informed of each service, and (iii) such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) to the Company’s management. Under the second method, the engagement to render the services would be presented to and pre-approved by the Audit Committee (subject to the de minimus exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act that are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit). The Chairman of the Audit Committee will have the authority to grant pre-approvals of audit and permissible non-audit services by the independent auditors, provided that all pre-approvals by the Chairman must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Company will provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Audit Committee, for payment of compensation to the independent auditors and to any consultants, experts or advisors engaged by the Audit Committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee reviews the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal financial controls, for preparing the financial statements and for the public reporting process. Amper, the Company’s independent auditor for 2008, is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity of the Company’s audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and Amper the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and Amper’s evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The committee has discussed with Amper the matters that are required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU Section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. Amper has provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed with Amper that firm’s independence. The Audit Committee has concluded that Amper’s provision of audit and non-audit services to the Company and its affiliates is compatible with Amper’s independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2008 for filing with the SEC. This report is provided by the following independent directors, who comprise the Audit Committee:

Brian W. Clymer (Chairman)

ITEM 2

APPROVAL OF 2009 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK GRANT PLAN

The Company’s 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Grant Plan (the “plan”) has been approved by the Board of Directors and will take effect upon stockholder approval.

Summary of the Plan

The full text of the plan is included in this Proxy Statement as Appendix A. The following summary of the plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the plan.

Purpose. The purpose of the plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders, by enabling the Company to attract and retain the best available individuals for service as Non-Employee Directors.

Eligibility. Only Hill’s Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive grants under the plan. A Non-Employee Director is a member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.

Awards. The Board may make awards of shares to Non-Employee Directors in such amounts, at such times, and subject to such time vesting and other restrictions as it may determine. In the absence of any such restrictions, an award of shares will vest immediately, and he or she will possess all of the rights of a holder of common stock including the right to vote the stock and, if granted by the Board, the right to receive any cash dividends.

Shares Available. No more than 200,000 shares of common stock may be issued under the plan. Any restricted shares that are forfeited are available for future grants. Grants of shares under the plan will be in addition to, and will not replace, any cash or other compensation arrangement available to our Non-Employee Directors. The plan provides for adjustment to the number of restricted shares that may be granted upon a change in our common stock as a result of a stock dividend or split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or other similar change.

Restrictions. Unless the agreement evidencing an award of shares to a Non-Employee Director makes provision to the contrary, if a grantee ceases to be a director for any reason other than death, disability, retirement, or his or her removal for cause, all unvested awarded shares shall be forfeited as of the date when the grantee ceases to be a director.

If a Non-Employee Director dies, becomes disabled or retires, all unvested awarded stock will become fully vested and all restrictions (other than restrictions on transferability in the absence of registration of the Awarded Stock under the Securities Act or the availability of an exemption therefrom) will end as of the date of his or her death, disability or retirement.

If a Non-Employee Director ceases to be a director because of his or her removal for cause, all unvested awarded stock shall be forfeited as of the date when he or she ceases to be a director.

In the event that the Board decides to grant shares which may be forfeited or subject to transfer restrictions for a specified period of time:

• the Non-Employee Director grantee of such shares will not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber the shares; or alternatively,

• the Board may require that the certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the applicable restrictions have lapsed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may at any time accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of any stock award or provide for the lapsing of any conditions or restrictions on any outstanding award, or portion thereof.

Amendment. The Board also has the right to amend, alter or discontinue the plan, but no amendment may be made without the approval of the stockholders to the extent such approval is required by law or agreement.

21

Termination. The plan may be terminated by our Board at any time. Unless sooner terminated, no shares may be issued under the plan after June 9, 2019.

Federal Income Tax Consequences. The following is a general summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences relating to the plan based on federal income tax laws currently in effect. The summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not describe the effect, if any, of gift, estate and inheritance taxes.

A Non-Employee Director who receives a grant of shares which are not subject to any restrictions will recognize taxable ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the common stock at that time of the award, and the company will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount

A Non-Employee Director who receives a grant of shares that are subject to restrictions which could result in his or her forfeiture of some or all of those shares, and does not elect to recognize income at the time of the grant, will not recognize taxable income and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction until the termination of restrictions with respect to such shares. Upon the termination of those restrictions, the director will recognize taxable ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the common stock at that time, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount. If a director elects to recognize taxable ordinary income in the year the shares are granted in an amount equal to their fair market value when granted (determined without regard to the restrictions, the Company will be entitled to a deduction in the year of grant in the same amount, and any gain or loss recognized by the Non-Employee Director upon subsequent disposition of the shares will be capital gain or loss.

Any dividends with respect to shares that are paid or made available to a Non-Employee Director (who has not elected to recognize income on the date of grant) while such shares remain forfeitable are treated as additional compensation taxable as ordinary income to the director and are deductible by the Company. If the director has made an election to recognize income with respect to the shares on the date of grant, dividends represent ordinary dividend income to the director and are not deductible by the Company. If the director elects to recognize income on the restricted shares on the date of grant and the director subsequently forfeits the shares, the director is not entitled to a deduction as a consequence of such forfeiture and the company must include as ordinary income the amount it previously deducted in the year of grant with respect to the shares.

New Plan Benefits

On August 6, 2008, the Board approved a grant of 6,000 shares of stock to each of the non-employee directors, subject to the adoption of a plan providing for the issuance of such shares, and the approval of such plan by the stockholders. If the stockholders approve the plan, such shares will be issued to the non-employee directors who were serving on the Board at the time of such grant. The following table sets forth information with respect to the grants of restricted stock, approved by the Board on August 6, 2008, to (a) each of those non-employee directors; and (b) all non-employee directors as a group:

Name of Individual or Identity of Group and Position	Dollar Value ($)		Number of Shares of Stock
Arnaud Ajdler	$	100,740	6,000
Brian W. Clymer		100,740	6,000
William J. Doyle		100,740	6,000
Alan S. Fellheimer		100,740	6,000
Eric S. Rosenfeld		100,740	6,000
All non-employee directors as a group (5 people)	$	503,700	30,000

Recommendation and Vote Required

Approval of the 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Grant Plan will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting.

22

The Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Grant Plan.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board is not aware of any matters other than those set forth in this proxy statement that will be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter should properly come before the meeting, the persons authorized by the accompanying proxy will vote and act with respect thereto, in what according to their judgment is in the interests of Hill and its stockholders.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our Directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. To the Company’s knowledge based on a review of copies of such reports furnished to Hill and on written representations made by such persons, all of the Company’s Directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock have complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements with respect to 2008 except that, due to an administrative oversight, required Form 4 reports were not filed on a timely basis on behalf of the following persons: Irvin E Richter (4 reports), David L. Richter (2 reports), William J. Doyle (1 report), Raouf S. Ghali (3 reports), Frederic Z. Samelian (2 reports), William H. Dengler, Jr. (1 report), Catherine H. Emma (1 report) and Ronald F. Emma (2 reports).

The 2008 Annual Report is being furnished to our stockholders without the exhibits to the Form 10-K. The Company will provide a copy of the exhibits to any stockholder upon request. Stockholders may under some circumstances be responsible for the Company’s reasonable expenses in furnishing such exhibits.

Stockholders who directly hold their shares of Hill and who previously have elected not to receive an annual report for a specific account may request Hill to promptly mail the 2008 Annual Report to that account by writing to William H. Dengler, Jr., Corporate Secretary, at the Company’s principal executive office: 303 Lippincott Centre, Marlton, NJ 08053; or by calling Hill’s investor relations consultant, The Equity Group, at (212) 836-9600.

Hill will deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of this proxy statement and the 2008 Annual Report to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered. A stockholder who wishes to receive a separate copy of the proxy statement and annual report, now or in the future, should submit this request in writing to William H.
