Balch & Bingham is proud to be recognized as a 2019 Veteran-Friendly Employer by the Birmingham Business Journal. Greg Cook, partner and chair of the Class Action Litigation Practice, was also named a Veteran of Influence by the Birmingham Business Journal. The firm, along with our veteran attorneys and staff, were recognized at a ceremony on Oct. 17.

He joins three other Balch attorneys and alumni who have previously been named a Veteran of Influence by the Birmingham Business Journal -- Marcus Chatterton, Will Hill Tankersley, and Jeremy Glassford. Balch is incredibly proud of Greg, Marcus, Will Hill, and Jeremy as well as their achievements on behalf of the firm and nation.
