Managing Partner Tony White expressed great confidence in Vinocur’s appointment, citing his proven track record of helping businesses thrive and his success in leading the New Ventures practice.

The office recently expanded with the addition of <a href="https://www.thompsonhine.com/professionals/gregory-t-fouts/">Gregory T. Fouts</a>, a high-stakes first-chair litigator from Morgan Lewis, who said he was attracted to the firm’s focus on fee flexibility and its Midwestern culture.

Vinocur represents high-growth technology companies, angel investors and venture capital firms. He advises company-side clients from formation through funding to exit and has extensive experience in complex, venture-style corporate finance matters. Vinocur’s role in creating the firm’s <a href="https://www.thquicklaunch.com/">QuickLaunch</a> program underscores his dedication to providing entrepreneurs, startups and investors with strategic guidance and legal solutions that are efficient and tailored to their unique needs. QuickLaunch, which was just <a href="https://www.thquicklaunch.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shortlisted for an award at ALM’s Legalweek</a>, “Enabling Start-Up Success,” combines document assembly software, defined processes, and fixed fee schedules to meet each startup at its particular stage of growth. Using the cost-effective, proven QuickLaunch model, startup entrepreneurs and investors receive the on-target counseling and advice they need and can even form a new venture in as little as a day.

Vinocur is enthusiastic about the opportunity to expand Thompson Hine’s Chicago footprint. He aims to capitalize on the city’s strong startup ecosystem and its position as a Midwestern economic powerhouse to ensure that the firm and its clients are strategically positioned to harness growth opportunities in the region. “I look forward to increasing our presence here in Chicago,” said Vinocur. “This dynamic market with a robust, diversified economy affords unlimited growth potential for our clients and our firm. We plan to leverage Thompson Hine’s nationally known practices to continue attracting top-tier talent, enhancing our service delivery and achieving favorable client outcomes.”
