Thompson Hine LLP is proud to announce that its lawyers from a broad array of practices have been recognized in key markets from coast to coast.
Legal 500 today announced its City Elite rankings for Minneapolis, Chicago, and Ohio (multi-city), adding to the rankings for Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C. announced earlier this year.
The City Elite rankings are a distinct component of Legal 500’s research separate from its national rankings, recognizing top lawyers and practices at the city and practice-area level. Thompson Hine previously announced its inclusion in Legal 500’s 2026 national rankings in June, when eight practices and 61 lawyers earned recognition.
Legal 500 rankings are based on a rigorous research process that includes feedback from clients and peers, as well as an analysis of recent work highlights and firm performance.
Following is the complete list of Thompson Hine lawyers recognized by Legal 500 City Elite for 2026.
