Justin helps clients with corporate matters, including business formation, transactions, and mergers and acquisitions.
Growing up around entrepreneurs, Justin spent several years in sales and operations for small companies before law school, watching founders build businesses with their own money on the line. That experience showed him that for many business owners, legal counsel is not just a formality but a steward of something deeply personal.
During undergrad, Justin spent a year working alongside general counsel for a payments company in Atlanta, where he saw firsthand how effective lawyers translate legal rules into practical guidance that sales, finance, and engineering teams can actually use. That experience sharpened his interest in corporate work, and in law school he pursued it through an advanced contracts seminar and corporate governance and securities coursework, along with a spot on the moot court team, where he competed against schools across the country and received recognition as a top advocate in one competition.
As a summer associate at Husch Blackwell, Justin worked across both the litigation and corporate teams, an experience that reinforced his sense that Husch Blackwell attorneys take real pride in how they understand and serve clients.
Known for speaking the language of the businesses he works with, Justin brings an optimistic, can-do approach to every matter. Clients can expect someone who genuinely enjoys learning the details of a deal and who stays engaged in seeing it to completion.
