Julia M. May

Exceptional counsel for a complex partnership dispute

When our technology firm faced a high-stakes partnership dissolution and breach of contract dispute, we were referred to Julia May at Wilmer Hale. From our first consultation in her Washington, D.C. office, her command of commercial litigation strategy was evident. Despite being relatively early in her career, her preparation and insight were remarkable. She leveraged the formidable resources of her firm while providing direct, personal attention to our case. Julia meticulously deconstructed the opposing party's claims, guided us through every strategic decision with clarity, and her negotiation posture was both firm and pragmatic. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in Commercial Litigation was well-reflected in her approach. The result was a highly favorable settlement that protected our intellectual property and allowed the business to move forward without protracted litigation. Julia is a sharp, dedicated attorney who delivers results that belie her years of practice. I would not hesitate to engage her for any significant commercial matter.
