After years of having a defense-side practice, a former Seyfarth Shaw partner who launched a new Atlanta boutique this week is now representing plaintiffs in labor and employment suits against employers. He said he sees the boutique’s use of alternative fee arrangements and technology as advantages in the legal market.

Alex Meier left Seyfarth Shaw after nine years as a labor and employment partner with the Am Law 100 firm, joining solo practitioner Jackie Lee to create Lee Meier. The firm launched on Wednesday.
