June 25, 2019 – The Florida Bar supports its 106,000 members and citizens of Florida by promoting regulation of the practice of law and ensuring high standards of professionalism. We are proud that seven Clark Partington attorneys volunteer their time on the Florida Bar’s boards, standing and special committees, and sections.
Appointments to Florida Bar committees are made each year by the President-elect of the Florida Bar – approximately 2,000 Florida Bar members serve on 70 standing committees. These groups, along with the governing Board, do much of the work of The Florida Bar. In 2018, Jeremy Branning was elected to the First Circuit seat of the Florida Bar Board of Governors, making Jeremy the second Clark Partington attorney in the firm’s history to serve in that position. The first was Bill Clark. As a member of the Board of Governors, Jeremy advocates on behalf of his peers in the First Circuit and serves with an open line of communication for matters facing the legal profession in the First Circuit and throughout the state. In addition to Jeremy’s leadership, six other Clark Partington attorneys serve the Florida Bar in various capacities:
