What makes Columbus such a great place to do business?

Columbus has changed so much since I first came here to start the firm’s Ohio practice. Back then, the expansion into the market was strategic to grow our healthcare practice in a like-sized market to Indianapolis. I don’t think we could’ve predicted the exponential growth of the city, and coincidentally our firm, that happened over the past 20 years. Columbus has such a unique mix of industries, headquarters, and people. All of these things provide our company and our team members with a multitude of opportunities for personal and professional growth.
