Bond Joins St. Louis-Based Law Firm Thompson Coburn
Former U.S. Sen. Kit Bond, left, and Thompson Coburn Chairman Tom Minogue, are pictured at the news conference this week at the law firm's offices downtown.
Christopher "Kit" Bond likes to say that he is neither shy nor retiring. He proved as much by starting work Monday at Thompson Coburn, a St. Louis-based law firm, two days before his successor is sworn in as Missouri's newest senator. Bond did not seek re-election in November while finishing his fourth six-year term in the Senate, and his seat was captured by fellow Republican Roy Blunt, a congressman from southwestern Missouri.
