Cleveland

Thompson Hine's Cleveland office, the firm's first, has an outstanding century-old reputation both in the legal profession and in the community. Among other recognitions, we are ranked among the top corporate law firms in Cleveland by Corporate Board Member. Chambers USA has recognized us many years in a row as a leading law firm in the nation; it also ranks us as a top firm in numerous practice areas. In addition, selected lawyers in the office have been named Client Service All Stars by The BTI Consulting Group.

These acknowledgments are no accident. We work hard for our clients in every practice area of the firm, and we always put them first. Above all, we place a high emphasis on understanding their businesses and being responsive to their needs. Our Client Service Pledge underscores our commitment to delivering extraordinary service to our clients. The Pledge stems from our longstanding focus on fostering a strong culture that supports and promotes client service, the highest-quality legal work, workforce diversity and a collegial professional environment. Cleveland lawyers and staff alike play active roles in our firmwide Women's Initiative, Spotlight on Women®, and our firmwide Diversity & Inclusion Initiative. Both initiatives involve mentoring and outreach to individuals both within and outside the firm to provide networking opportunities and interaction with community leaders.

We are also known for lending strong support to Cleveland and the other Northeast Ohio communities in which we live and work. We are highly involved and active in the business community, serving in leadership roles in nonprofit and civic organizations, industry groups, regional economic development organizations and professional associations. Many of our lawyers are acknowledged thought leaders on crucial Northeast Ohio business and legal issues.

These and other efforts to give back to our community have been recognized. We are the first law firm in Cleveland - one of the first in the country, in fact - to have received the Corporate Leadership Award from the Association of Fundraising Professionals on National Philanthropy Day®, and our office has served as a Pacesetter for the United Way of Greater Cleveland Chapter's campaign for many years. Finally, in addition to all of our individual and group efforts on behalf of civic and charitable endeavors, our lawyers contribute hundreds of hours to numerous pro bono matters.
