As the Paris 2024 Olympics unfold, we can’t help but reflect on the incredible talent within our own ranks—our very own Olympian, Hanna Thompson. Hanna is not just a standout attorney in our Walnut Creek office, where she excels in toxic and mass tort litigation, particularly asbestos defense, but she’s also a silver medalist in Women’s Foil Fencing from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Her experience ranges from legal research to arguing motions and taking depositions, showcasing her versatility both in the courtroom and on the fencing strip. The same dedication and excellence that led her to Olympic glory drive her legal career today. We are immensely proud to have an Olympian on our team who continues to inspire us every day with her commitment and skill. Go Team USA! 🇺🇸

As part of Foley Mansfield’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, FM has developed a Supplier Diversity Program in an effort to create a vendor database that is reflective of the communities in which we live and work. The Program is aimed at promoting and increasing the inclusion of underrepresented business owners in our procurement process and in the broader marketplace. We know that by partnering with an expanded network of suppliers, we will provide additional value to our business and our clients. If you are a certified diverse supplier who can meet our standards of excellence, please register your company using our link below. After you register, your company profile will be registered in our database of diverse and minority-owned businesses for members of the firm to refer to when the need arises. Registration of your organization does not guarantee the firm will give business to your organization. To register your company for our program, please click here: https://bit.ly/4dt3fJD
