Justin G. May

Justin May is a litigation and regulatory attorney who advises companies facing complex legal risk at the intersection of courtroom disputes, government regulation, and business operations. His practice centers on regulatory‑driven commercial litigation and enforcement‑adjacent matters, particularly within highly regulated and emerging industries. Justin brings a pragmatic, business‑focused approach to disputes that implicate regulatory compliance, product risk, and public‑facing exposure.

Justin regularly represents and counsels companies in matters involving product liability, consumer protection, insurance coverage, and government investigations, with a particular focus on dietary supplements, botanicals, functional ingredients, and novel consumer products. He helps clients navigate state and federal regulatory regimes, develop pre‑enforcement strategies, and defend against private litigation and regulatory actions, often counseling clients well before issues mature into disputes. His work frequently involves labeling and marketing review, regulatory risk assessments, and coordination with specialized regulatory and scientific advisors.

In addition to active litigation and regulatory defense, Justin serves as strategic outside counsel to growth‑stage and middle‑market companies, assisting with contract drafting, governance matters, and transaction‑adjacent risk management. He is routinely engaged to negotiate and structure agreements that are likely to be tested under regulatory or litigation pressure and works closely with corporate and regulatory colleagues to deliver integrated legal solutions. Clients value Justin’s ability to combine litigation instincts with practical, forward‑looking advice that aligns legal risk management with business objectives.
