Three years ago, when Holland & Hart chair Christopher Balch took the helm of the Denver-based law firm, he and the rest of the management committee outlined a strategic plan for growth: focus on high-performing practices in regional markets; grow the firm’s client base in energy, technology and intellectual property; and identify key partner hires and bolt-on lateral groups.
