SAN FRANCISCO, April 19, 2019: Farella Braun + Martel LLP is proud to be named one of the Best Places to Work in the Bay Area for the thirteenth time. Published by the San Francisco Business Times and the Silicon Valley Business Journal, the list honors 130 Bay Area companies that have exceptional workplaces and value the contributions of their employees.

The rankings were determined in conjunction with Quantum Workplace, which sent surveys directly to employees of 480 companies that were in consideration to evaluate their company on such values as trust in leadership, collaborative culture, personal engagement and satisfaction of individual needs through great benefits and perks.

The outstanding workplaces were honored at an awards event on April 18 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square.
