With three large cities — Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus — leading the way, there is much work to be done in this hot legal field.
Please note that these popular practice areas depend on numerous variables such as the local economy, new law, and level of enforcement and are always subject to change. In addition, the rankings of these practice areas are simply predictions based upon local economic/law firm information found online at the U.S. Census Bureau website, Martindale.com, Mass.gov, MassEconomy.org, and Wikipedia.org.


1. Litigation: Litigation is always popular in Ohio. Careers in Ohio litigation law include personal injury and medical malpractice jobs, with employment opportunities available throughout. In addition, many Ohio firms now concentrate their practices exclusively on insurance defense work.

2. Finance: With three large cities — Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus — leading the way, there is much work to be done in this hot legal field. Ohio finance law tends to include careers in securities, banking, and bankruptcy.

3. Corporate: Ohio corporate law centers on business formation, regulatory compliance, and mergers and acquisitions. There are numerous employment listings involving emerging professional responsibility issues.

4. Education: Education law in Ohio focuses on student rights and privatization. Note that this issue tends to be a political favorite and that many jobs may be subject to local governance.

5. Securities: There has been a recent surge in securities law job opportunities in Ohio. Most firms deal with the overlap into stocks and bonds as well as the myriad tax ramifications.

6. Employment: With a large population and a struggling economy, Ohio offers an array of employment law job possibilities. As of late there has been a spike in Ohio employment law when it comes to careers dealing with discrimination lawsuits of any type as well as sexual harassment actions.

7. Intellectual Property: Legal work within the intellectual property area in Ohio has traditionally been dominated by patent and trademark firms. There are also a good number of jobs at firms that exclusively deal with copyright and trade secret issues.

8. Healthcare: In Ohio, jobs dealing with living will, HMO, and premium issues dominate the healthcare landscape. There are many jobs in this exciting field. In addition, careers connected to fraud and collection legal issues are on the rise.

9. Government: Government opportunities continue to appear in Ohio. This sector includes jobs connected to specific federal and local administrative laws as well as many local zoning issues.

10. Tax: The focus of Ohio tax law has always been related to the corporate and finance practice areas noted above. Consequently, be on the lookout for firms and businesses with jobs revolving around direct links to those areas.
