Aarika Nieto

Aarika Nieto joined the Wood Stabell team in October 2022. Her work at the firm centers around corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, and real estate. A native of Chicago, Aarika recently relocated to the Nashville area with her family.

Aarika knew from a young age that she wanted to be an attorney and worked steadily toward that goal. That same single-minded focus and determination now benefits Wood Stabell’s clients as Aarika works with them on achieving creative, yet practical, business and legal solutions.

One of Aarika’s greatest strengths in practice is her natural intellectual curiosity, which leads her to take a deep dive into client issues and challenges. What Aarika enjoys most about her practice, though, is her interactions with other people, both colleagues and clients. She enjoys learning from other attorneys and having the opportunity to become involved in different projects. Clients benefit from Aarika’s ability to break complex legal concepts down and explain them clearly.

Aarika is a graduate of DePaul University School of Law, where she was a Managing Editor of Notes and Comments for the Law Review. During law school, Aarika gravitated toward the study of corporate law because of its complexity and dynamic nature, and the fast-paced nature of this practice area energizes her.

When not working, Aarika enjoys going on hikes, being outdoors, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
