After trying out a cloud-based firm, patent lawyer E.J. Joswick has returned to the brick-and-mortar world, joining Thompson Hine as a partner from FisherBroyles.

Thompson Hine also added a real estate associate, Christina Campbell, from Arent Fox in Washington.

Joswick said his foray into virtual lawyering at FisherBroyles, where he spent a year and a half after almost 12 years at Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton, was a “great experience,” but he needed to provide his clients a “tight-knit team of patent attorneys” with more face-to-face interaction.
