Firm Culture

Thompson Coburn LLP (Thompson Coburn) values excellence in client service, professional development, and a work/life balance for all of our attorneys and staff.

We take a strong interest in the success of new associates, providing them with a broad range of training opportunities, and with mentors who take a genuine interest in their success. We serve a diverse client base, which creates opportunity for interesting and challenging work.

We recognize the importance of life outside of work, and value the time our employees spend with their families and working in their communities. Thompson Coburn helps associates maintain this balance with reasonable workload expectations and by encouraging pro bono and community activities. This gives attorneys the opportunity to deliver creative legal solutions to clients and the time to pursue interests as varied as the people who comprise our Firm.

While we have the lawyers, support staff and resources to handle large, complex cases and sophisticated corporate transactions, we've managed to retain many of the characteristics that make smaller firms attractive. Our partners are accessible, our staff and lawyers make every effort to support and mentor new associates, and we have numerous employee events designed to celebrate our achievements and to build team spirit.

It's no accident that we recruit and retain talented people with a diverse range of skills and interests. We serve some of the premier businesses and institutions in our region, and across the country. We invest heavily in training and development. We support our communities. We work hard, but we play hard, too. Our Firm is a community of professionals with a passion for excellence. We are proud of the more than 700 people who have found fulfilling careers with Thompson Coburn.
