Thompson Hine LLP

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘The people make the difference. The team that serves us works in tandem. As professionals in their field of expertise, they respond appropriately to (legislative) changes, litigation, and trends. They anticipate timely on indicators. They also closely monitor our movements, provide timely signals and take corrective action when needed. They communicate over multiple media and provide practical and easy accessible information.’

• ‘Enthusiastic partners and employees, committed to and with a passion for their field of expertise and aware that, in addition to content, the business relationship is important.’

• ‘Team is highly skilled and dedicated to first-rate customer service. They are always up to speed on new developments in the law. ’

• ‘Customer service and responsiveness’

• ‘What makes this practice unique is its ability to combine deep technical expertise with practical, business-focused advice. The team doesn’t operate in a purely legal silo — they understand how ERISA, compensation, and health and welfare issues intersect with real organizational, financial, and workforce considerations. That ability to bridge legal precision with operational reality truly sets them apart.

• 'Potential clients should know that the team’s strengths lie in both depth and integration. They have specialists across retirement, health and welfare, executive compensation, and litigation, but they collaborate seamlessly, ensuring advice is coordinated rather than fragmented. Their guidance is consistently clear, actionable, and tailored to the client’s environment rather than theoretical or overly academic.'
• 'Compared to other firms, they stand out for their responsiveness, commercial awareness, and ability to scale support depending on the complexity of the issue. They are equally effective handling day-to-day compliance questions and sophisticated, high-stakes matters such as plan governance challenges, regulatory scrutiny, or complex litigation.'

• ‘The individuals we work with stand out for their combination of technical mastery, responsiveness, and genuine partnership mindset. They are not only highly knowledgeable in their respective specialties, but also approachable, pragmatic, and solutions-oriented. Complex issues are explained clearly, with a focus on helping the business make confident, informed decisions.

• 'What differentiates them from competitors is their ability to anticipate issues and provide context, not just answers. They understand our organization, our industry, and our risk tolerance, and they tailor their advice accordingly. Their communication style is consistent, calm, and thoughtful — particularly valuable in high-pressure or time-sensitive situations.'
• ‘Katie Kohn was the lead attorney on our behalf, even before she moved to Thompson Hine. Over the course of several years, she helped our company navigate a complex and sensitive termination of our employer pension plan. Her expertise, judgment and guidance were extraordinary. ’
