Thomas Sipp's Journey to Law

Thomas Sipp moved from Japan to America at the age of ten and faced numerous challenges, including learning English in middle school while being raised by a single mother. Despite the difficulties, he pursued his education, earning an undergraduate degree from the University of Texas and subsequently gaining admission to Columbia Law School, where he took on significant student loans. His motivation to succeed stemmed from a promise to his mother that he would take care of her once he established his career. After graduating, Thomas joined Skadden, a prestigious law firm, drawn in part by the firm's commitment to pro bono work and diversity initiatives.
