As a lawyer in Shumaker's Litigation and Disputes Service Line, Justin counsels and represents small and large financial institutions, as well as high-net-worth individuals in the financial services industry on a variety of employment law matters. Justin has a national practice litigating complex issues that arise in the financial services industry before state and federal courts, as well as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and while his practice ranges from claims of misappropriation of confidential information and trade secrets to wrongful discharge actions, Justin's practice focuses on four main areas:
- Advising employees and financial institutions regarding compliance with—as well as breach and enforcement of—Restrictive Covenants including covenants not to compete, customer non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements.
- Litigating to defend against or seek temporary restraining orders, emergency injunctive orders, and other related relief.
- Strategic Counseling and tailored planning in relation to employee transitions and protection of critical business assets between and among both Protocol and non-Protocol firms.
- Representing employees in regulatory investigations.
