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.
