JUSTIN GOODWIN
Partner
DTO Law
Justin Goodwin, partner at DTO Law, has earned a reputation as the go-to litigator for his Fortune 500 clients’ most complex and challenging cases. His ability to distill complex matters down to a simple set of manageable problems sets him apart from his peers.
Goodwin understands that identifying the simplest, most elegant solution to a problem often requires thinking outside the box. In some instances, this means ignoring the prevailing framing of an issue by courts and litigants in other cases in favor of a novel argument derived from first principles. In other instances, it means forgoing conventional litigation strategies altogether. In a recent trade-secrets arbitration, for example, Goodwin understood that the parties’ unresolved emotions would prevent any conventional settlement. Rather than simply forging ahead with a costly evidentiary hearing, Goodwin laid the groundwork for the parties to resolve their differences through an asset acquisition.
