About

Johnson & Byers is a boutique law firm based in Utah, advising clients across the country on transactions, disputes, and ongoing business matters. We work closely with founders, investors, and companies at all stages of growth, often serving as long-term legal partners rather than outside advisors on a single matter.

Our work frequently begins with a specific transaction—such as an acquisition or financing—and continues as we support clients in an ongoing outside general counsel role. This continuity allows us to develop a deep understanding of each client’s business and provide practical, informed advice as their needs evolve.

Experience

Our attorneys bring decades of experience from leading law firms and in-house roles, with backgrounds spanning Washington, D.C., Phoenix, and Salt Lake City. We have advised on a wide range of matters, including complex transactions and commercial disputes, representing clients in deals ranging from early-stage investments to transactions involving tens of millions of dollars.

We have particular experience in the telecommunications infrastructure sector, where we have developed a strong reputation advising on specialized agreements and industry-specific issues.

Approach

We prioritize efficiency, clarity, and sound judgment in our work. By combining technical experience with a practical understanding of our clients’ businesses, we aim to deliver legal advice that is both strategic and actionable.

Our focus on long-term relationships allows us to work efficiently and provide consistent, high-quality support across a broad range of legal needs.
