Law Firm Overview

1978

It was a good year. While Jimmy Carter was working for peace at Camp David and John Travolta was Stayin' Alive, our firm of Cowles & Thompson was just getting started. From the beginning, the foundation of our firm was to provide excellent client representation in a client-focused and cost-effective manner. This demonstrates our commitment to working toward our clients' goals and putting them first. Because of the firm foundation and strong relationships, our reputation and the firm continued to grow.

Representing Large Corporations And Middle Market Organizations

The strategy of the Firm has been to provide the best legal representation in a cost-effective manner to allow the client to achieve their goals. This has ranged from representing some of the largest corporations in the U.S. to active day-to-day representation of middle-market businesses. From representing Fortune 100 companies to working with start-up companies as they grow and mature, Cowles & Thompson has worked to build a foundation of growth for our clients, and partnered with them as they have grown and matured.

Numbers Speak for Themselves

Behind every successful law firm you will find attorneys who love their profession, and Cowles & Thompson is no exception. We place tremendous importance on training our attorneys to focus on client needs and the objectives of the matters at hand.

Our numbers speak for themselves when looking back over our history since 1978. Having worked with over 48 of the Fortune 100 companies (2006) and local middle-market companies, our experience spans the practice area spectrum by having handled more than 500 appellate matters and 20,000 litigation matters, over 2,000 business matters and more than 500 legal malpractice matters. Experience matters.

Industry Experience and a Commitment to Clients

In addition to working tirelessly for clients, the Firm has in-depth experience in working with various industries. This includes the Firm's experience in working with clients in the aviation, transportation, manufacturing, real estate, retail and insurance industries. This knowledge allows us to put clients first to achieve their goals.
