Ashlei Williams

Ashlei Williams is the Director of Marketing & Business Development at Arias Sanguinetti Wang & Team LLP, where she leads the firm’s strategic marketing, brand growth, and client acquisition initiatives. In this role, she oversees integrated marketing and business development strategies designed to strengthen the firm’s visibility, expand referral partnerships, and support long-term growth. Working closely with firm leadership, Ashlei directs high-level campaigns, brand strategy, and business development initiatives while providing oversight of external vendors responsible for digital strategy, public relations, advertising, and multimedia production.

She joined the firm at the ground level of its marketing department, helping standardize workflows, formalize brand standards, and integrate the department throughout the firm’s infrastructure. Ashlei brings a background in communications consulting, where she built a strong reputation for delivering tailored marketing strategies that increased brand awareness and engagement. Her innovative approach to digital marketing and creative storytelling drove significant growth for notable clients ranging from city mayors and reality television personalities to state government departments and billion-dollar construction companies, with placements in recognized media outlets including The Business Journals, EBONY, and Chicago Defender.

Ashlei also brings extensive experience in business-to-business communications, having advanced through leadership roles in a national magazine publishing company for the plumbing trade. That work provided institutional insight into how professional organizations cultivate relationships, build influence, and engage audiences through conferences, educational programming, and thought leadership. Developing industry recognition programs, webinars, and live-streamed events honed her skills in networking, presentations, and brand positioning. Ashlei now applies these skills to business development in the legal industry, focusing on opportunities with trial lawyer associations. 

She earned her M.S. in Journalism from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and her B.A. in English from Spelman College.
