About ThompsonMcMullan

Established in 1973, Thompson McMullan is situated in the heart of downtown Richmond’s historic commercial district, Shockoe Slip. Since its inception over thirty years ago, the Firm has served the legal needs of developing businesses and their owners. Our clients demand first rate legal services in a responsive and cost-effective manner and we have consistently met or exceeded their expectations. Our commitment to those watchwords has allowed us to grow and forge strong relationships with our clients.

Our location is symbolic of the nexus between the bustle of Richmond’s commercial past and the economic future of Richmond and the region. For much of the 19th century, Shockoe Slip was a hub of commerce and industry. Richmond depended on the Kanawha Canal system to speed goods on their way - east or west - and the large turning basin for canal boats is located just to our west. Today, Shockoe Slip is known for its small office buildings, shops, condominiums, and restaurants and continues to be an integral part of the revitalization efforts of Richmond. In an effort to further stay connected to our community, our lawyers actively participate and provide leadership in the legal, business, civic, and charitable arenas in the City of Richmond and its surrounding counties, in addition to local, state and national bar associations.

As the global economy becomes increasingly complex and interconnected, so do the legal needs facing our clients. Thompson McMullan is capable of meeting those needs through its membership in Meritas, an affiliation of independent, mid-sized corporate, commercial and litigation law firms.  As a member of Meritas, Thompson McMullan affords its clients access to responsive legal counsel in 200 locations in all 50 states and more than 60 countries on six continents. Member firms are initially screened through an evaluation of credentials and are subject to a continuing performance review process to ensure competence and quality service. Member firms share special legal expertise and, upon request from clients, prospect for business opportunities.
