How Justin works

Justin's starting point is the client's objective, not the procedure. Before recommending a step he wants to know what a good outcome looks like: payment, an injunction, a settlement on defensible terms, or simply a clear exit. The strategy is built backwards from that.

He works from the documents. Contracts, correspondence, bank records and, in digital-asset matters, on-chain data are read early and closely, because the strength of a case is usually decided by what is written down rather than by what each side remembers.

Clients describe him as calm and direct. He says where a case is weak as plainly as where it is strong, and he stays personally on the matter from the first call through to enforcement.

Matters Justin handles

  • Commercial and contractual claims, from letter of demand to judgment and enforcement
  • Shareholder, director, and company control disputes

  • CIPAA adjudication and construction payment disputes
  • Arbitration and the enforcement of awards
  • Employment disputes before the Industrial Court
  • Injunctions, summary judgment, and appeals
  • Regulatory advice for digital-asset, fintech, and Web3 businesses
