Thompson Hine LLP is ‘knowledgeable and efficient’ and ’brings a multidisciplinary approach’ to construction and renovation projects. Cleveland-based Alan Ritchie acts as department head and also sits within the wider real estate group. Along with Jeffrey Appelbaum, he has considerable experience working on community impact projects such as sports facilities and mixed-use developments. Also in the Cleveland office are Daniel Haymond, who has represented owners, developers, and architects in arbitrations involving hydroelectric power plant and natural gas pipeline disputes; and Erin Luke, who focuses on a broader range of sectors from manufacturing and production to hospital and medical facilities. In New York, James Frankel is a key contact for contract formation and administration. Columbus’ Jack Clark is similarly experienced while John B. Kopf handles delay disputes. William Thrush departed from the firm. \n \n
