Former managing partner <a href="https://www.thompsonhine.com/professionals/deborah-z-read/">Deborah Z. Read</a> was named to the <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/lianejackson/2024/03/26/meet-americas-top-200-lawyers-2024/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">inaugural list in 2024</a> for her early pivot to innovation. Read was also recognized earlier this year in Forbes’ first <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/deborah-z-read/?list=best-in-state-lawyers">Best-in-State list</a> for Ohio.

To select the lawyers for the list, Forbes identified a wide pool of eligible candidates through interviews with industry insiders, outside nominations and editorial research, as well as outreach through law firms and local, state, and national bar associations. In addition, recommendations were offered by an independent advisory board of experts. Forbes also notes that its methodology and assessment process was designed by an editorial team with broad experience in law practice and knowledge of the legal marketplace. In-depth research into each candidate yielded evaluations on a variety of weighted criteria, including reputation, industry honors, influence on the legal landscape, client list, advocacy performance, practice impact, reviews by peers and clients, credentials and affiliations, thought leadership, pro bono work, mentorship, and community and/or diversity work, resulting in a “collection of elite lawyers … delivering the finest legal representation for their clients across a wide array of practice areas.”
