It was early in my law school career when I realized that Thompson Hine was the perfect fit for me. I was given the unique opportunity to work as a law clerk while going through law school. From the beginning, I was impressed with the firm's ability to balance a challenging and fast paced work environment and yet provide a comfortable atmosphere. Thompson Hine pushes me to succeed, while providing enough resources to ensure I do not burn out as a law clerk. The most valuable of those resources being the opportunity to work closely with and learn from some of the most esteemed lawyers in my field. The combination of a unique and challenging atmosphere and the opportunities provided makes Thompson Hine the clear choice for any hard working law clerk.

At Thompson Hine, the resources of a large firm blend with the convivial work environment of a small firm for the perfect work culture. I was immediately made to feel part of the firm and my contributions were incorporated into final products. What truly sets my Thompson Hine experience apart, however, are the people. From junior associates to senior partners, everyone is interested in your success. The support of the lawyers, the combination of hands-on experience and training, and the ownership I have over assignments, allows me to translate theoretical classroom experience into real world practice.

Thompson Hine offers its attorneys all the benefits and resources of a large law firm with none of the pretensions. Associates are given significant assignments early on in their careers, and are encouraged to learn by doing, not simply observing. Thompson Hine associates benefit from working on sophisticated legal matters in a relaxed culture where senior attorneys are always available and eager to act as mentors and teachers to new attorneys. What impresses me most about Thompson Hine is the firm's emphasis on its attorneys' professional well-being. Associates are valued and rewarded for the quality of their work, not simply the quantity of their billable hours.
