“Best Law Firms,” now in its 15th year, is compiled by surveying thousands of law firm clients and lawyers. Firms are then ranked for their expertise, responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, civility, integrity and whether a client or lawyer would refer business to the firm. Its mission is to help guide referring lawyers and clients seeking corporate legal advice.
Earlier this year, 141 Thompson Hine lawyers were recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® 2024, 12 partners were named Lawyers of the Year and 34 were listed as Ones to Watch.
