International Law Firm, Bingham McCutchen, Opens Lexington, Kentucky Global Services Center
04/18/2013
Bingham’s 45,000-square-foot global services center in Lexington will house approximately 250 administrative support staff positions, including finance and accounting, human resources, information technology, marketing, operations, and risk management. The building includes redundant power and communications systems, multiple collaboration zones in an open-plan concept, as well as a micro-market offering fresh food and beverages.
“As of today, Bingham’s Global Services Center is officially up and running in the Bluegrass,” said Bingham Chairman Jay Zimmerman, noting that the center will eventually house approximately 250 Bingham employees. “We look forward to being an active member of the Lexington business community.”
Bingham Chief Operating Officer L. Tracee Whitley added that the major drivers in securing the on-time opening of the Global Services Center were the strong collaboration between Bingham and Lexington and the dedication of Bingham’s employees.
“Bingham McCutchen is a company with a rich history and a promising future,” said Gov. Steve Beshear. “Today’s ribbon- cutting represents the unlimited potential for Bingham’s success in Lexington, and we know this will be a perfect fit for the Commonwealth and the firm.”
“The winner’s circle is more crowded here today than it will be in a couple of weeks at the Derby,” said Lexington Mayor Jim Gray. “But just as we are known as the Horse Capital of the World, we will now also be known as the place Bingham McCutchen chose over 300 other cities. We’ve crossed the finish line first in this race, and we’re ready to race again, and always to go the extra mile.”
“Last September, during the official project announcement at city hall, Bingham Chairman Jay Zimmerman mentioned a strong bond between its firm and the people in our community,” said Bob Quick, CCE, president and CEO, Commerce Lexington Inc. “We have enjoyed getting to know the Bingham McCutchen team during the economic development process, and we’re excited for the opening of the firm’s new facility in Coldstream. When an international firm like Bingham McCutchen chooses Lexington, it certainly tells us that we have something very special going on right here in the Bluegrass. We look forward to working with the Bingham staff for many years to come.”
