From Wall Street to One Ally: Gina Chen's Journey of Purpose & Impact, Ep. 538

Gina Chen is the Founder and Managing Attorney of One Ally, a boutique corporate law firm redefining what it means to practice business law with both rigor and heart. A former M&A attorney at Davis Polk, Paul Weiss, and Mayer Brown, Gina has led and advised on over $10 billion in transactions, representing public companies, private equity funds, and high-growth businesses across industries. But Gina’s path to Wall Street began far from it. A first-generation immigrant who came to the United States at age nine, she has spent her life navigating the intersection of community and capital. Before law, she worked on sustainable farming initiatives in China, conducted post-earthquake rebuilding research as a Fulbright Scholar, and co-founded a nonprofit delivering vision care to thousands of rural students. Through One Ally, Gina now brings big-firm expertise to mission-driven founders, women entrepreneurs, and minority-led businesses seeking strategic, values-aligned legal guidance. She believes law should be empowering, accessible, and deeply human. Gina is passionate about mentorship, cross-cultural leadership, and helping founders build businesses that create lasting impact, not just financial returns, but generational change.
