Aspire Law has been recognized as one of Atlanta’s Healthiest Employers for the third year in a row

We’re proud to share that Aspire Law has been recognized by the Atlanta Business Chronicle as one of Atlanta’s Healthiest Employers for the third year in a row!

For us, this recognition is about more than workplace benefits. It reflects that we’re living our mission of, “Happy Lawyers Everywhere” by giving our team flexibility, supporting their lives outside of work, and creating opportunities to grow professionally.

As a fully remote firm, we’ve built our workplace around flexibility and trust, including:

  • Flexible schedules and full-time and part-time opportunities
  • Paid parental, sick, and vacation leave
  • Sabbatical leave
  • 401(k) matching
  • Professional development, certifications, CLE, and conference support
  • Annual opportunities to connect in person at our company retreats!

As Aspire Law continues to grow, we want to make sure that growth comes with a workplace where talented people can do great work and have a life outside of it.

Thank you to the Atlanta Business Chronicle for recognizing organizations that are investing in the health and well-being of their employees, and congratulations to all of this year’s honorees!

Aspire Law is celebrating its 5th anniversary!

Aspire Law is celebrating its 5th anniversary! It’s incredible how far we’ve journeyed together.

In the last five years, we’ve gone from me working on my own to a team of 13. We also have over 250 clients, including almost ten Fortune 1000-sized companies.

I am incredibly thankful to:

  • my husband, Alex Meier, for being my biggest supporter and for encouraging me to start my firm
  • my amazing team, Allison Bazinet, David Bennett, Susan Bunch, Katerina Velanova, Kendall Carter, Charlotte Salomon, Stevie Conway, Daniela De Alba, Alexis Chan Lim, Claudette Entera, and Ayven Dodd for your hard work through our ups and downs
  • my amazing clients who believe in me and trust in the team I’ve built
  • my therapists, Dr. Adrienne Harrison Berry and Kolby Sanchez for helping me stay healthy mentally and emotionally
  • my dear friends and family for their love and encouragement
  • my business coach, Tim Fulton, for guiding me and encouraging me to keep going on my toughest days
  • my friends at the Georgia Asian Pacific American Bar Association (GAPABA) and EO Atlanta
  • the many others who have mentored me and supported me

It takes a village! I am so fortunate and appreciative to everyone who has helped me and my firm in the last five years.

With your help, I’ve created something amazing — a law firm that’s:

  • National Recognition: Named in the Chambers USA Spotlight Guide for Georgia as one of only four firms in ranked in their “Corporate/Commercial” category—a testament to our sophisticated practice and the high caliber of our attorneys.
  • Wellbeing Matters: Ranked Top 5 “Healthiest Employers” for two consecutive years by the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s, reflecting our real commitment to work/life balance and a healthy workplace.
  • People-First Culture: Our attorneys rate their experience at Aspire Law 9.14 out of 10. We listen, we adapt, and we invest in our team’s professional and personal growth. When our attorneys feel cared for, they do their best work for our clients.
  • Pride in Our Work: Our client satisfaction rating (9.6/10) reflects the pride our team takes in delivering practical and efficient business-focused legal solutions.
  • Growth & Momentum: Honored with the “Pacesetters Award” as one of Atlanta’s fastest-growing small businesses in 2024 and 2025 by the Atlanta Business Chronicle.

When I started my firm, I did not think I would get to where I am today. I certainly didn’t think I’d get here as quickly (and joyfully!) as I have.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Aspire Law Named To Chambers USA Spotlight Guide For Georgia

ASPIRE LAW NAMED TO CHAMBERS USA SPOTLIGHT GUIDE FOR GEORGIA, RECOGNIZED FOR EXCELLENCE IN BUSINESS LAW AND CLIENT EXPERIENCE

ATLANTA, Ga. (October 30, 2025) – Aspire Law has been named to the prestigious Chambers USA Spotlight Guide, a distinction that recognizes the nation’s most forward-thinking and client-focused law firms. Founded in 2021, by Alina Lee, Esq., the firm has earned a reputation for excellence, innovation, and exceptional client service. It is one of the first Georgia-based firms selected for this inaugural edition, which recognizes boutique and mid-sized law firms that deliver outstanding results for their clients.

Aspire Law represents some of the nation’s leading enterprise organizations, providing expert legal counsel and seamless legal staffing services. Before launching the firm, Lee served as senior corporate counsel for Mailchimp and Southern Company Gas and practiced at prominent law firms Morris, Manning & Martin LLP and Rogers & Hardin LLP. This breadth of experience is what inspired her to build a firm that could keep pace with large organizations while also empowering her team to work in ways that inspire their best performance and deliver exceptional results. The firm’s mission, “Empowering Clients. Transforming Lives. Happy Lawyers Everywhere,” reflects Lee’s commitment to both client results and attorney wellbeing.

“Our goal has always been to make legal work easier, clearer, and more effective for the business leaders we serve, and to be equally as committed to our attorneys,” said Lee. “Being recognized by Chambers USA affirms that excellent legal services come from having a team that is deeply embedded in our clients’ businesses and fully aligned with their goals. We are honored to be named among Georgia’s top-performing law firms for companies seeking sophisticated, focused legal counsel.”

In addition to its recognition in the Chambers USA Spotlight Guide, Aspire Law has received numerous awards and accolades, including the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Pacesetter Award and Healthiest Employers Award for the last two years. While its attorneys are rigorously trained to meet their clients’ specific expectations, they are also encouraged to define their own versions of success and work-life balance. Over half of the attorneys and operations team work part-time.

“We believe happy attorneys do their best work,” Lee added. “That’s our magic – a team of skilled attorneys who are energized, supported, and completely invested in our clients’ success.”

Looking ahead, as more corporations seek support beyond the traditional Big Law model, Aspire Law is doubling down on its partnership-driven model. The firm continues to invest in top-tier talent and to expand its capabilities across a broad range of IP transactions and counseling, marketing law, technology law, data privacy law, data security law, corporate governance, and M&A.

“Either you’re winning or you’re learning. As long as you continue to play the game, one of those things will happen.” —

“It’s totally common to change your law firm name…as your law firm evolves.” —

Congratulations to Alina Lee and the nonprofit she serves — We Love BuHi, which won GNG’s True Blue Award this year!

When Alina Lee stepped up to help founder Marian Liou form We Love BuHi as a nonprofit 4 years ago, she didn’t know if they could make it work. They struggled to make ends meet for a long time but they continued to do their very best! They refused to give up and kept going no matter how razor-thin the budget. There were tears at times when they weren’t sure how to keep it up. Now, We Love BuHi is winning awards!

Alina Lee — Now a Board Member of the Korean American Bar Association of Georgia (KABA)

KABA has played an important role in my life–its members are like my extended family. I attended KABA’s first ever event at the law firm Nelson Mullins in Fall of 2012. There, I first met one of my closest friends now, Sara Hamilton, for the first time.

I’ve met so many friends and mentors through KABA, such as June Lee, Han Choi, Steve Park, BJay Pak, Seam Park, Vanessa Suh, Greg Shin, and others. 

Today, Sara is the President of KABA and I’m proud to be serving alongside her as a Board Member.

Thank you to the existing Board of Directors for your support and I look forward to working with each of you to support KABA’s mission to elevate the visibility of Korean American attorneys and law students within the Georgia legal community. 

Consider attending a KABA event! We’re a fun bunch! See our calendar at https://kabaga.org/
