Justin leads the Startup and Business Law and Mergers & Acquisitions practice areas at Spengler & Agans, PLLC. Prior to co-founding the firm, Justin earned an MBA with a focus on marketing strategy and entrepreneurship, and he is a two-time entrepreneur himself. Justin’s education and experience enable him to think like both a founder and a lawyer, and his clients appreciate his ability to understand the interplay between business considerations and legal decisions.

Justin serves as outside general counsel to numerous organizations throughout North Carolina, and he works with businesses in a variety of industries, from local coffee shops to high-growth technology startups. On a daily basis, Justin advises startups and small to medium-sized businesses on incorporation and formation matters, contracts, commercial leases, hiring and retaining employees and independent contractors, and raising capital. In his capacity as general counsel, Justin is happy to serve as his clients’ first phone call on any matter.

In recent years, Justin’s practice has focused primarily on the following topics:

• Company Formation
• Corporate Governance
• Contracts
• Commercial Leases
• Raising Capital
• Mergers & Acquisitions

In his free time, Justin enjoys spending time with his wife, Lauren, and their four children. They spend as much time as they can enjoying the outdoors – whether it be the Blue Ridge Mountains or the North Carolina barrier islands. He retired early from basketball but on rare occasions can still be found hiking. Justin enjoys good food, good bourbon, and live music. He also still irrationally cares about Chicago sports.
