I had a terrific experience as a summer law clerk at Thompson Hine. The summer program provided the summer law clerks with challenging work assignments, fun social outings, and valuable feedback. I enjoyed working on sophisticated assignments with bright, intelligent attorneys who provided me with support and positive, constructive criticism. The decision to return to Thompson Hine upon graduation came easily for two reasons: I truly enjoyed the work, and I truly enjoyed the people with whom I worked.

It is important to feel both comfortable and inspired at work. I found this at Thompson Hine. The camaraderie among my colleagues far exceeds that of any team that I have been on. From partner to summer law clerk, everyone is genuinely interested in the personal and professional success of their colleagues. Additionally, with such a high level of sheer legal expertise and vigor among the more senior associates and partners, a young associate cannot help but aspire to reach that same level of professionalism. It is extremely refreshing to be among the most pleasant and skilled attorneys in the area.

I felt like everyone at the firm was happy to answer my questions and took a genuine interest in my development. Both partners and associates were accessible and showed they were eager to help me learn. And, of course, my advisor was there every step of the way, encouraging me to excel.

They showed me their dedication to pro bono work and community service. With their guidance, I feel not only prepared for a life in law but for life in the greater community as well.

During my time at Thompson Hine, I had the opportunity to work side-by-side with dedicated and well-rounded professionals, while also getting to know them personally through the many planned and impromptu social events. After working directly with both partners and associates, and within multiple practice areas, it is clear that the quality of the people and the work extends to all corners of the firm. Thompson Hine is an exciting place to start a career, and I look forward to returning next fall.
