Bingham McCutchen announced late Wednesday that it plans to move 250 back-office jobs to Lexington, Kentucky, starting next spring, investing $22.5 million in a new operation meant to streamline administrative tasks.

Bingham’s current employees will be given the opportunity to relocate and take the new positions, which include jobs in the finance and accounting, human resources, information technology, marketing, and risk management departments. The firm will turn to the local market to fill the rest, says Tracee Whitley, Bingham’s chief operating officer.
