About Us

With locations in Indianapolis, Vincennes and Jasper/Dubois County, Bingham McHale is one of the larger, more diverse and more effective business and personal law firms in the state of Indiana. Our 140 attorneys distinguish themselves within the state and across the nation as they respond comprehensively to our clients’ evolving needs.

January 1, 2002 marked the merger of two well-established Indiana law firms – Bingham Summers Welsh & Spilman and McHale Cook & Welch – forming Bingham McHale. From that day, our attorneys, who represent a variety of businesses and individuals, combined a 130-year history and a longstanding commitment into one ideal: providing high quality, effective legal services with proven results and personal, responsive attention.

The Best Lawyers in America 2009 has ranked Bingham McHale in seven of its categories (and named 14 of our partners to its 2009 list):

We stay focused on emerging issues in law, business and government that could impact our clients, striving to keep them ahead of the curve. Working in Industry Teams, our attorneys take advantage of significant knowledge across legal disciplines to give each project perceptive and attentive service.

Our efficient support staff and team of highly skilled paralegals are trained to deliver prompt supplemental services, and our clients’ legal needs are supported and delivered using our advanced secure technology.

And while our influence extends nationwide, Indiana is our home and we treat it that way. We work as volunteers and leaders on committees and boards that improve our communities, build cultural assets and advance industry initiatives. We believe that when we help our neighbors and our community prosper we help our clients prosper.
