Complex cases deserve focused attention.

Julie & Holleman is a boutique firm representing stockholders in complex corporate disputes. We deliberately maintain a focused caseload so our lawyers can devote the attention and resources each matter deserves.

Close-up of the gears and mainspring of a fine mechanical watch movement

Built for complex litigation.

Julie & Holleman’s lawyers bring experience from leading plaintiffs’ and defense firms to complex stockholder litigation in courts across the country. We handle mergers and acquisitions litigation, derivative actions, securities cases, and other disputes involving corporate governance and stockholder rights.

Our size is deliberate. We select matters where we believe our experience can make a meaningful difference and remain deeply involved from investigation and strategy through discovery, trial, and appeal.

Experience earned over decades.

Before founding Julie & Holleman, our attorneys litigated significant stockholder and securities matters at leading plaintiffs’ and defense firms. Together with their work at Julie & Holleman, that experience includes major monetary recoveries, precedent-setting appellate victories, and significant corporate governance reforms.
