Thompson Hine LLP has again earned national recognition for its leadership in promoting diversity and inclusion within the legal profession. The firm has been named to MultiCultural Law magazine’s 2011 rankings of the Top 100 Law Firms for Diversity and the Top 100 Law Firms for Women. The firm was previously named to the lists in 2010 and 2007.

Thompson Hine, through the efforts of its Diversity & Inclusion and Spotlight on Women® initiatives, is committed to attracting, retaining, advancing and supporting a diverse workforce. The strength of that commitment is most evident in the makeup of the firm’s leadership, with minorities and women serving as practice group leaders, office partners-in-charge and members of the Executive Committee. The firm is also dedicated to raising awareness of the value of diversity throughout the legal profession and the broader business community. Each Thompson Hine office leads, sponsors and supports initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion in its local market.

“We are excited to once again be named a Top 100 Law Firm for Diversity,” said Robyn Minter Smyers, chair of the firm’s Diversity & Inclusion initiative. “As our initiative continues to grow and gain support within the firm and the community, it’s a wonderful affirmation of our efforts to receive this national recognition for a third year.”

“Spotlight on Women continues to be a pacesetter among women’s initiatives in the legal profession and the business community,” said Heidi B. Goldstein, Spotlight on Women chair. “We are grateful to everyone who has participated in our programs and supported us – it is because of them that we have achieved this distinction for a third time.”
