Always on the forefront of developments, he represented a party in the first “domain name” arbitration in 1994. As a transactional attorney, Julian has led legal and business teams in structuring and negotiating individual outsourcing, systems integration and e-commerce contracts valued to $5 billion. He has also led strategic teams in successful workouts and restructuring of troubled outsourcing and similar initiatives.

In addition to his rankings in Chambers Global and Chambers USA, Julian has for several years been listed in Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, Who's Who Legal and Legal 500. He has been "AV" rated by Martindale-Hubbard for almost 30 years.
A frequent lecturer, Julian has presented at many state bar CLE programs, as well as business venues such as the Outsourcing World Summit, the Sourcing Interests Group and the Outsourcing Institute.
