Is benching appropriate for law firms or financial services offices?

Benching is generally not appropriate for roles in law or finance requiring client confidentiality, sensitive call handling, or high-concentration document review. For these environments, closed-office configurations or high-panel systems are more appropriate. That said, some firms use benching for administrative and support staff away from client-facing areas. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we help firms design environments that accommodate both open and private work modes — call 1-800-460-0858.
