Bingham Greenebaum Doll (BGD) is combining with Dentons to meet needs for cross-jurisdictional work, both within the US and around the world.
The merger allows BGD to eliminate the time and risk involved in sourcing talent by collaborating with their Dentons partners around the world.
Charles Lavelle, partner, BGD said: “Bingham Greenebaum Doll is thrilled to be combining with Dentons, the largest law firm in the world, with over 10,000 lawyers. I’m looking forward to working with the exceptional Dentons Regulatory Insurance Group, who can provide additional services to our clients, and lend my captive insurance experience to Dentons existing clients.”
He added: “This combination is an incredible opportunity to provide the highest level of service through the most sophisticated platform in the world.”
Jeff McKenzie, partnership board chair of BGD said: “The combination will allow us to connect our clients to the very best talent across the country and around the world.”
As part of the merger, BGD clients will still continue to benefit from Midwest cost structures.
According to BGD, when clients need work done in New York, Paris, Shanghai or elsewhere, the combined firm can perform that work at a price point that’s competitive for the market and practice area.
This reduces the number of firms and contract attorneys that clients must manage and streamlines legal services through Dentons.
Keith Bice, BGD board member said: “We are excited about utilising an unparalleled platform to provide the highest level of service to our clients through expanded depth, breadth and reach.”
He added: “This combination gives us the ability to satisfy virtually any legal need our clients have throughout our region, the US and the world regardless of the type of deal or dispute or the geography involved.”
