Horton Law PLLC is pleased to announce that Julie Bastian has joined the firm. She becomes the firm’s second attorney, focusing in the practice of labor and employment law.

Julie is a graduate of the University at Buffalo School of Law and Canisius College. For more than 10 years she was an in-house counsel with a global workforce solutions and business services company. Her responsibilities included employment and immigration law compliance throughout the United States and Canada, business contract negotiation, and responding to employee discrimination claims. She has extensive experience with co-employer and emerging technology issues, including cybersecurity and privacy law implications.

“The firm’s clients will benefit from Julie’s valuable combination of hands-on corporate experience and deep employment law knowledge,” said Scott Horton, founder of Horton Law. “In today’s fast-paced business environment, employers need their outside counsel to understand both the legal parameters and practical challenges facing their organizations. Julie’s background positions her well to meet those expectations.”

Julie has been active in InfoTech WNY and the Niagara Frontier Corporate Counsel Association. Before practicing law, she was a Child Protection Investigator handling dependency cases in the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office in Clearwater, Florida.
