Hogan Lovells is planning to open a global business services center in Louisville, Kentucky.

Only the second such facility in the world for the 2,500-attorney law firm, it will involve an investment of some $8.9 million and is projected to ultimately bring 250 jobs paying an average of $65,000 to the city, the Louisville Courier-Journal reports.

A smaller version of the operation will open in Louisville this summer, the firm says in a Thursday news release.

“We chose Louisville as it has an excellent supply of talented people, is well placed in terms of time zones and offers good opportunities for cost savings when compared to Washington, DC, and a number of our other existing office locations,” said Cole Finegan, who serves as the firm’s regional managing partner for the Americas, in the release.

The current Hogan Lovells global business services center is in South Africa.

In addition to the nation’s capital, the firm has U.S. law offices in Northern Virginia; Baltimore; Philadelphia; New York; Miami; Houston and and Minneapolis, as well as multiple offices in California and Colorado.
