About Balch

“Flexibility” isn’t just an HR buzzword. It’s essential to achieving professional goals and maintaining a healthy work-life balance along the way. At Balch, we encourage you to design a career path that best suits your career aspirations, personal commitments and family priorities.
We understand a full-time schedule isn’t for everyone and that not all attorneys want to become law firm owners. By providing opportunities for alternative career paths, you can create an advancement track that empowers you to achieve your definition of success – both personally and professionally.

Industry-leading benefits include comprehensive medical, dental and vision plans, profit-sharing contributions, 401(k) deferrals with qualifying match, paid time off and paid holidays, life insurance, paid birth and adoption leave, and a back-up childcare and elder care program, to name a few.
Because we want you to grow your career with Balch – and maintain a healthy work-life balance – we also offer a variety of other perks: financial wellness seminars, onsite flu shots and health screenings, fitness programs, community service opportunities, CPR/AED training, social events, discounted gym memberships and more.
