J. Gerard Stranch IV, founding and managing member of Stranch, Jennings & Garvey, was named to the Nashville Post’s 2024 “In Charge” list. The annual list recognizes influential business, political and civic leaders who are making an impact in Middle Tennessee.
This year’s list includes hundreds of individuals organized among 19 sectors. Stranch was one of more than 70 Nashville-area attorneys chosen for the Post’s “In Charge – Legal” list. He has been named to the list each year since 2018, when the Legal sector was added to the annual “In Charge” list.
A third-generation lawyer, Stranch leads the firm’s class action, complex litigation and mass tort practice groups. He has served as the lead trial counsel in several high-profile Tennessee suits against opioid manufacturers, and as class counsel for the negotiation class in the multi-district national prescription opioid litigation (MDL 2804) in Cleveland, Ohio.
