Am Law 100 firm with 750+ lawyers across 19 offices serving litigation, transactions, and regulatory work
Ballard Spahr is a mid-market law firm running a lean tech stack—Microsoft Office, Relativity, ServiceNow, Adobe—built for legal operations rather than custom development. Current hiring is heavily skewed toward legal roles (33 of 62 open positions), with secondary focus on finance and operations, suggesting the firm is scaling practice capacity rather than platform engineering. Active projects center on business development mechanics (pipeline management, new matter intake, strategic targeting) and operational consolidation (office relocation, financial system integration), indicating near-term focus on organic growth and margin improvement rather than technology-led transformation.
