"The level of support the firm provides to me and in turn, our clients, is outstanding. For example, our IS department routinely develops client-specific extranets and various in-house applications, custom software and operates a continually-updated firm intranet. Our Client Technology Services staff provides a full range of litigation support, which gives us a definite advantage in the courtroom. The firm's client-first philosophy even carries over to our Business Office, which designs and produces billing statements customized for each client."

"When selecting a law firm, it was very important to me that the firm be involved in the St. Louis community. Not only does Thompson Coburn recognize the importance of giving back to the community, TC values and encourages associates to become involved in civic activities. This commitment has allowed me to grow as an attorney at a top notch law firm and still have time to contribute to charitable organizations."

"Thompson Coburn’s practice group structure creates an intimate work environment with a high level of cooperation and communication that promotes teamwork. I am a member of the firm's Intellectual Property practice with approximately 35 other attorneys. As a member of this practice, I have ready access to the other attorneys at a variety of experience levels - from senior partners to mid-level associates, so I can obtain the appropriate level of feedback and mentoring necessary to strengthen my knowledge as a young attorney."

"My experience with the firm has been everything I was looking for in a law firm. The atmosphere is open and extremely supportive, and I've found that senior partners and management are accessible. I've also been given interesting work, and responsibility for handling challenging matters, so I've had the opportunity to learn a great deal in a short period of time since joining the firm.

Tobacco Litigation
"During my second year at the Firm , I was on our client's trial team in the first ever smoking related, medical monitoring class action to be tried in this country. Just three years later, I participated in the largest civil case ever litigated in this country, USA v. Philip Morris, et al., tried over nine months in Washington, D.C. I was able to participate in virtually every aspect of case preparation and management, including brief writing, witness preparation, witness examinations, and post-trial filings.”
