“When you believe in your work, it ultimately shows in the quality of the service or product you present.”
Justin N. Boley is a partner at WBE, bringing nearly 15 years of knowledge and experience to the firm’s antitrust, business and commercial litigation, and consumer protection practices. Since beginning his legal career, Justin has established himself as a formidable advocate for his clients, navigating the complexities of high-stakes litigation with precision and expertise. His dedication to achieving just outcomes and his strategic, trial-minded approach to tackling intricate legal challenges have earned him a distinguished reputation amongst his peers.
Since joining the firm, Justin has been instrumental in the firm’s pharmaceutical antitrust practice, including serving on the trial team for In re Nexium (Esomeprazole) Antitrust Litigation, the first reverse payment antitrust case to go to trial following the Supreme Court’s Actavis decision. This case laid the foundation for Justin’s belief that every case—no matter how big or small—should be litigated from the very beginning with an eye towards trial. Since Nexium, Justin has led investigations into anticompetitive misconduct in dozens of industries, including cartelization in financial derivative markets and price-fixing among online travel sites and hotels. The evolving intersection between technology, intellectual property, and antitrust law is of particular interest to Justin and he focuses a large amount of his current practice to investigating emerging misconduct in non-traditional markets.
More recently, Justin played an integral role in bringing a class action Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) case against Centene Corporation, the largest provider of health-insurance plans sold on the online exchanges established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Justin’s dedication and leadership helped Plaintiffs largely defeat motions to dismiss the case, allowing claims to move forward.
Justin has also been a key figure overseeing the firm’s landmark work in biometric privacy litigation, introducing numerous cases alleging violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA).
Justin has been recognized for his work by numerous legal award and rating organizations, including being consistently named to Thomson Reuters list of Rising Stars and Super Lawyers since 2018 and appearing multiple times in Law360’s Legal Lions of the Week column.
Prior to joining the firm, Justin attended school abroad and obtained a Master’s Degree with a focus on International Relations. During law school, Justin’s focus on corporate law, finance, and complex litigation earned him numerous top-of-the-class academic honors. He served as a member of the New Media Team for President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign.
