A partner at Keker & Van Nest in San Francisco and litigator for more than three decades, Jon Streeter is serving a one-year term as Bar President after being elected by fellow members of the Board of Trustees (formerly Board of Governors).
Streeter, a graduate of Stanford University and UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law (1981), clerked for U.S. Circuit Judge Harry T. Edwards of the District of Columbia. He spent 17 years at Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP before moving to Keker & Van Nest in the late ‘90s. Streeter has handled cases across the country in trial and appellate courts, both state and federal, involving intellectual property, antitrust, securities, real estate, mortgage banking, executive compensation, energy regulation, and insurance coverage.
Although a corporate lawyer, Streeter handled lawsuits that resulted in a 2003 settlement banning racial profiling in Highway Patrol traffic stops and defended the Berkeley school district against a challenge to its integration program.
He is a former president of the Bar Association of San Francisco, executive vice president of a San Francisco real estate investment firm, chair of the board of governors’ Stakeholders Committee and leader of a project to get more legal help for veterans.
The Seattle native is the son of an architect. One of his brothers is a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, another is an architect and a third is a writer. He is married to Dorine Holsey Streeter, executive vice president at the commercial real estate firm of James Campbell Co., and has two daughters in college.
