About Justin
Justin Goldblatt studied at Harvard and went on to build a career in corporate credit law. He combined a traditional academic background with hands-on work in major New York law firms. The result is a steady progression through complex transactional practices.
Early in his career Goldblatt worked at Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, where he served as a senior associate on credit matters in 2005. That role placed him on teams handling sophisticated financing transactions and required close coordination with lenders, borrowers and underwriting counsel. He developed practical experience in drafting and negotiating loan documents and in managing the multiple moving parts of large deals.
By 2012 he was a senior associate at Latham & Watkins LLP. At Latham he continued to work on credit matters and financial transactions. His time there has included work across the lifecycle of deals, from initial structuring to closing. Colleagues describe his approach as steady and detail-oriented; he is known for methodical work on document drafting and transactional logistics.
Goldblatt is admitted to practice in New York. He has held membership in a professional association since 2006 and has maintained ties to the broader legal community through that connection. His professional years span work in top-tier transactional practices in Manhattan and involve repeated collaboration with bankers, in-house counsel and other outside counsel.
He has spent his career in roles that emphasize practical transactional skills rather than courtroom litigation. That background has translated into a body of work centered on secured lending, credit facilities and other finance-related transactions. He brings an institutional perspective shaped by time at two major international firms, where teams handle large, multi-jurisdictional financings and often tight timelines.
Today he practices at Latham & Watkins LLP in New York. His work continues to center on corporate credit and finance matters handled out of the firm’s New York office.
