Jerry Braun is one of the founding partners of Farella Braun + Martel LLP, where he has worked since its founding in 1962. In addition to his long and distinguished legal career spanning nearly six decades, Jerry has been a tireless supporter of the legal profession, including his work on behalf of The Other Bar, a network of recovering lawyers, law students and judges throughout California.
