Background

About Emily Jaye Johnson

As a Managing Associate of Benesch's Chambers-ranked Retail & E-Commerce Group, I am a trusted resource for retail companies, ranging from e-commerce start-ups to Fortune 100 big box stores, often called upon to counsel sophisticated retail and technology clients on commercial agreements, including vendor contracts, technology and related services agreements, and licensing partnerships. I carefully guide clients through complex commercial contract disputes and consumer protection litigation, strategically defending companies facing individual and class actions under state and federal privacy and deceptive trade practices statutes. I also advise on emerging regulatory and legislative developments, guiding stakeholders through a wide range of consumer-facing issues—including everything from website terms and disclosures to marketing, advertising, and promotional language and disclaimers to product labeling, junk fees, automatic renewal compliance, influencer marketing, and consumer reviews. Beyond contractual issues and consumer protection, I’ve defended businesses against defamation claims, commercial insurance matters, and mass tort multidistrict litigation. At my core, I’m a problem-solver who thrives on inventing real-world solutions, conducting targeted legal research, and crafting compelling, strategic legal writing that is easily digestible to tribunals and business stakeholders alike.
