Justin Solomon Nematzadeh - Profile

Justin Nematzadeh is the Founder and Managing Member of Nematzadeh PLLC. With experience gained at reputable law firms, he has built a track record of accomplishments through leading roles, particularly in trials, on behalf of businesses of various sizes, entrepreneurs, governmental entities, public and private institutional investors, and individuals. He has been involved in cases that led to total recoveries exceeding $3.53 billion for litigants. In 2018, Justin was recognized as an Emerging Talent under 40 years old by Law360® in Class Actions, an esteemed accolade bestowed upon a limited number of "top litigators and dealmakers operating at a level typically seen from seasoned attorneys," with only 5 winners chosen from a pool of over 1,200 submissions. Justin played a pivotal part in the team handling the In re Petrobras Securities Litigation (S.D.N.Y.), which in 2018 secured a $3 billion settlement that, at the time, stood as the largest securities class action settlement in a decade and the fifth largest overall class action settlement ever accomplished in the U.S. The Honorable Jed S. Rakoff of the Southern District of New York commended the "lawyers in this case [as] some of the best lawyers in the United States, if not in the world." Justin has advocated for both plaintiffs and defendants in numerous antitrust cases. Presently, Justin holds leadership positions representing class plaintiffs in Casey’s Distributing, Inc. v. Major League Baseball (S.D.N.Y.), Casey’s Distributing, Inc. v. National Football League Inc. (S.D.N.Y.), Dream Big Media, Inc. v. Alphabet Inc. (N.D. Cal.), and Dunham v. The Sherwin-Williams Company (N.D.N.Y.). Before predominantly focusing on plaintiff representation, Justin was associated with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, where he defended clients in high-stakes litigation, with a concentration on antitrust, breach of fiduciary duty, commodities, contract, intellectual property, and securities litigation.
