Justin Nasseri won the inaugural OBA Civil Litigation Emerging Leader Award. At the time, he was the youngest-ever chair of this section. Immediately after that, he founded a firm which Benchmark just named Litigation Boutique of the Year. Justin has dozens of reported wins in major cases, has spoken at many CPD programs, and has published several chapters and articles since his 2013 call to the bar. He is well known for his mentorship, across many firms, many practice areas, and for lawyers both junior and senior to him. Many people would not be where they are today without his support.
The following was his speech at the OBA Civil Dinner, highlighting the importance of empowering junior lawyers and their contributions to making his new firm a success.
