Justina partners with technology founders and leadership teams as they build and scale globally. Her practice focuses on global corporate structuring and cross‑border financing for technology companies, from early‑stage formation through major financing rounds, cross‑border M&A, and capital markets transactions.
She advises high‑growth technology companies on venture capital and private equity financings, corporate restructurings, international expansion, and domestic and overseas listings. With deep multi‑jurisdictional experience, Justina coordinates legal and structural requirements across jurisdictions to deliver clear, execution‑ready solutions for founders and investors. She regularly designs international holding and financing platforms, including Cayman Islands and Delaware structures, and integrates corporate and regulatory regimes across key global markets to balance investor protections with founder‑led governance and long‑term flexibility.
Justina provides full‑lifecycle, company‑side legal support, including financing strategy and term negotiations, drafting and negotiation of transaction documents, legal due diligence, closing execution, and post‑closing compliance. Her approach is practical, commercially focused, and aligned with how technology companies actually operate and scale.
Regulatory considerations are embedded into her structuring work from the start, with experience covering cross‑border data transfers, privacy and data security, artificial‑intelligence‑related regulatory frameworks, export controls, foreign investment restrictions, and national security review regimes that can materially impact global business models.
She works closely with startups and founders as long‑term counsel, supporting companies from inception through successive financings and major strategic milestones, including overseas listings and M&A exits.
Justina has acted as lead counsel on numerous high‑profile transactions recognized by leading international legal publications. She serves on the Public Policy Committee of the International Advertising Association (IAA) and is recognized as a Leading Partner for TMT by The Legal 500.
