- Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr plans to move its business operations to the Dayton, Ohio, area.
The firm’s new business center will house employees in finance, human resources, information technology, document review, operations and practice management, according to a press release and stories in the Boston Globe, the Dayton Business Journal and the Kettering-Oakwood Times.
Current employees may transfer to the new location in Kettering, but WilmerHale expects most of the jobs will be filled with Ohio workers, the Business Journal says. The law firm is holding a recruitment open house this weekend.
The center will open in September and will house about 187 employees.
