Alex Meier

Alex represents individuals and companies in employment disputes. Prior to joining Lee Meier, Alex was a Partner at Seyfarth Shaw LLP, one of the leading management-side employment law firms in the United States. Alex’s clients looked to him to resolve their most difficult and nuanced employment cases. Alex also maintains an active practice in restrictive covenant and trade secret litigation. 

Alex now leverages that experience on behalf of employees and focuses his practice on representing executives and other high-level employees. He knows where and how companies build defenses against employment claims and their playbooks for avoiding the disclosure of unfavorable information, as well as how to leverage pressure points for organizations to maximize value. Alex also maintains a limited practice defending companies in employment claims, which enables him to provide balanced and objective assessments to his clients on both sides of the “v.” 

Alex is passionate about using technology and generative artificial intelligence to obtain exceptional results for his clients. Alex enjoys leveraging his fluency with forensic tools and complex data sources to discover information other attorneys miss and develop novel support for his clients’ positions.

Alex regularly publishes and presents about employment law and restrictive covenant issues. Recent presentations include: 

  • The use of AI in trade secrets litigation; 

  • Computer forensics in trade secret litigation; and 

  • Internal investigations and how investigations influence employment litigation. 

Alex is a member of The Sedona Conference Working Group 12 on trade secrets and a member of the drafting committee on forensic issues in trade secret litigation. Alex is a former Fellow for Lawyers for Civil Justice, an organization devoted to improving the civil justice system through procedural reform. He was recognized as an outstanding contributor for his work on proposed revisions to district court local rules. Alex is also a member of the Atlanta Bar Association and National Employment Lawyers Association.
