Justin K.Beyer

With more than 15 years of litigation experience, including significant trial experience, Justin guides clients through the litigation process—whether as a plaintiff seeking to protect or reacquire misappropriated information, or as a defendant looking to hire a competitor's former employee—to likewise ensure trade secrets are protected and that businesses compete fairly.

Justin is also an accomplished commercial and product liability litigator, helping clients prosecute and defend commercial and product liability disputes arising over a host of industries, including agricultural, banking, construction, food processing equipment manufacturing, general manufacturing, health care, medical device, pharmaceutical, real estate development, and transportation industries.

As a former college athlete and son of a former college athlete and coach, Justin grew up in a home that fostered a competitive atmosphere, but also instilled in him an ethos that winning fairly without cheating was paramount. These dual traits drive him today, both as a litigator and as a counselor, as he assists clients in navigating the competitive business landscape, as well as protecting their own (and other business') trade secrets.

Justin has worked with employers across a diverse spectrum of industries to develop or update their trade secret and noncompete programs, including businesses in the agricultural, general manufacturing, grocery, health care, medical device, pharmaceutical, pharmaceutical benefit management, real estate development, transportation, water treatment, oil and gas, and other industries. In addition to helping develop such programs, Justin has successfully litigated and tried cases across the country for clients in the same and other industries.

Justin believes that, at their core, successful litigators must be successful storytellers, conveying their clients' successes and challenges in compelling ways that make judges and juries want to side with the client. Because of this, Justin views client problems through the lens of puzzling together disparate facts and arguments to prove his clients' case, and creatively assembles the facts of a case into a compelling story.

Justin loves the collaboration process that Seyfarth fosters, where attorneys—whether on the same litigation team or not—are willing to work together to find solutions to problems and better serve the firm’s clients.
