Pillsbury Madison & Sutro LLP, Partner (Retired)
The daughter of an Air Force pilot, Nancy Murray has lived throughout the United States and spent four years in Japan. Upon her father’s retirement from the Air Force, Ms. Murray moved to Texas where she earned her B.S. in 1977 from the University of Texas at Austin, and her law degree in 1980 from Southern Methodist University School of Law, where she was Managing Editor of the Law Review. Ms. Murray moved to San Francisco to work as an associate with Pillsbury Madison and Sutro (now known as Pillsbury, Winthrop), and was named a partner in 1987. After the birth of Ms. Murray’s third child, she resigned as a partner in 1991, and became Of Counsel for a number of years. She has been active as a mediator with the American Arbitration Association, and has served as a Judge Pro Tem on a number of Superior Court cases.
Ms. Murray has served on a number of nonprofit boards, including the boards of San Francisco University High School, The Hamlin School, Town School for Boys, and Lone Mountain Children’s Center. She has chaired Annual Fund campaigns for Town and Hamlin, and launched the first ever capital campaign at Lone Mountain, her children’s pre-school. She is an active supporter of Summerbridge San Francisco, a tuition-free, academic enrichment program for middle school students with limited resources. In addition to serving on the Children Now board, Ms. Murray is on the board of Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco.
Ms. Murray and her husband, Jim Feuille (Partner, Crosslink Capital) are the proud (but exhausted) parents of four children, Colin (UHS ’05; Brown University ’09; Mt. Sinai Medical School ‘14), Connor (UHS ’08; Colgate University ’12; Stanford Law School ‘15), Catherine (UHS ’10; Dartmouth College ‘15), and Claire (Hamlin ’10, UHS ‘14).
In her free time, Ms. Murray enjoys a good book, an even better glass of wine, and spending time with her family. Lastly, Ms. Murray is proud to say that she is one paragraph into writing her great American novel.
