JustinJackson

Justin focuses his practice on wage and hour class actions, representative actions, collective actions, employment discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wrongful termination, breach of contract, and unfair business practice litigation in both state and federal court. He also has significant experience in trial preparation, including overall defense strategy, jury selection and voir dire, and mock trials and focus groups.

Justin frequently defends employers in class actions involving over 20,000 employees. Justin has successfully defeated class certification in several high-profile wage and hour class action cases with potential damages and penalties exceeding $125,000,000. Justin has also negotiated and obtained several favorable settlements in class action, representative action, and single-plaintiff cases. Recently, he negotiated a settlement for less than 5% of the potential exposure in a multi-plaintiff case involving wage and hour and unfair business practice claims.

Justin has also assisted in numerous employment-related investigations, such as wage and hour compliance audits, internal audits, and state and federal audits. He analyzes copious amounts of wage and hour data to spot trends that will help defeat class certification.

Justin started at the firm in 2016 as a class action clerk, where he worked full time for almost two years before going to law school. He returned to Seyfarth for his 1L summer, his 2L summer, and worked part time during his 2L and 3L years.
