A graduate of the University of Baltimore School of Law with a concentration in Tax and Estate Planning, Justin joined Batoff Associates in 2010 as an associate in the corporate/business transactions and employee benefits (ERISA) practice. He provides general counsel on a wide range of matters relating to real estate transactions, retirement and health benefits, executive compensation, regulatory compliance, mergers & acquisitions, tax and estate planning, employment law, and corporate governance.

As a principal at Batoff Associates, Justin serves a broad spectrum of the business community, ranging from budding startups to international corporations, as well as tax-exempt entities, family-owned businesses, franchisees, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs in the full-range of business issues. 

In addition to the practice of law, Justin leads the Tax & Succession Planning division of Batoff Family Office Advisory LLC, an affiliate of the law firm, advising clients and their multi-generational families on asset protection and wealth preservation.

A lifelong Baltimore resident, Justin was a career student and varsity athlete at the Gilman School. He attended Johns Hopkins University where he studied Art History as well as Entrepreneurship & Management. While at Johns Hopkins he was elected Vice-President of St. Elmo Hall and selected as a walk-on varsity swimmer in his freshman year.

In concert with his brother, Justin is the co-founder of the Old Line Society. The OLS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization encouraging social engagement and fundraising efforts among young professionals in the Baltimore area. Justin also serves as an adviser, or in the capacity of a trustee, for a number of civic organizations. Away from the office he can usually be found in the field...farming, fox-hunting or on area steeplechase courses pursuing his career as an Amateur Rider.
