Is Bingham Experiencing The Urge To Merge?

Which firms might end up tying the knot with Bingham?

The Bingham email appears below. It’s not terribly informative, but it does note that the firm is having a better year in 2014 to date than it did in 2013. As noted in the Reuters piece, Bingham is working on such high-profile matters as the Argentina bondholder mess and transfer pricing litigation against Amazon.

Subject: Recent Media Coverage

Hi everyone:

There were several articles this week reporting on rumors that Bingham is in merger talks with other law firms. As most of you know, we have engaged in talks with scores of firms during the past 20 years, some of which we have acted upon, most of which we have not.

As a firm known for embracing change, we are always open to exploring opportunities, and we continue to selectively screen and evaluate them as they are presented to us. As always, however, our clients come first and our focus remains on managing our business for long-term growth and success as well as for a strong 2014. We continue to improve on important financial metrics. Our financial performance is very strong, and we are on track to have a much better year than we did in 2013.

If you have any questions, contact me, a member of the leadership team, a member of the Executive Board or your local Office Managing Partner. If you receive an inquiry from a reporter, please follow the firm’s media policy and direct it to Claire Papanastasiou.

Thanks, and have a great weekend.

Steve
