Juli Farris’ clients count on her commitment to excellence to meet their legal needs.

Juli is a member of Keller Rohrback’s nationally-recognized Complex Litigation Group and divides her time between the firm’s Seattle and Santa Barbara offices. Her current cases include serving as co-lead counsel representing victims of the 2015 Refugio California Oil Spill and representing patients affected by prescription drug overcharges. She is also part of the team pursuing claims to hold drug manufacturers accountable for the current opioid health crisis.

In addition to her work on environmental torts, consumer protection and whistleblower litigation, Juli has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in class action litigation involving banking and securities regulation, antitrust, ERISA fraud and other areas.

Before she joined Keller Rohrback in 1991, Juli served as a judicial law clerk for Judge E. Grady Jolly of the U.S. Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, and she practiced law at the Washington, D.C. office of Sidley Austin, where her practice involved trial and appellate litigation covering a wide array of subject matters.
