Buckingham is pleased to announce that Riley Hardacre has joined the firm as an Associate in our Health & Medicine Practice Group. Riley works closely with our Health & Medicine team to defend hospitals, nursing homes, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in complex legal matters arising from the delivery of medical care.
Riley’s path to Buckingham reflects a strong foundation in appellate and judicial work. Before joining the firm as a law clerk, Riley served as a Law Clerk at Buckingham and completed externships with Justice Michael P. Donnelly of the Supreme Court of Ohio and Judge Michelle J. Sheehan of the Ohio 8th District Court of Appeals. These experiences sharpened Riley’s ability to analyze intricate legal issues and advocate effectively for clients.
A graduate of Cleveland State University School of Law, Riley earned a J.D. in 2025 after completing a B.A. at The Ohio State University in 2022. Riley is admitted to practice in Ohio.
We are excited to welcome Riley and look forward to the expertise and energy Riley brings to our Health & Medicine team.
