About Ava (Na)
Ava (Na) Li earned an LL.M. from Chicago-Kent College of Law at Illinois Institute of Technology in 2012, then completed her J.D. at South Texas College of Law in 2014. She later added a degree in Creative Writing from the University of Iowa in 2020. Those academic stops reflect an uncommon mix of technical legal training and literary study.
After law school, Li built a practice that touches both intellectual property and immigration concerns. She holds membership in the State Bar of New York and is licensed to practice in New York. She also belongs to the American Intellectual Property Association and the American Immigration Lawyers Association, associations that match the dual threads of her work.
Li’s early career included roles where document drafting and careful statutory analysis mattered. That background suited both IP filings and immigration petitions. Colleagues have described her approach as methodical; she tends to break complex regulatory problems into concrete tasks. She has worked on matters that require attention to procedural detail as well as an ability to explain options to clients in straightforward terms.
Her interest in creative writing has influenced how she frames arguments. Clear, concise writing is a practical skill in litigation and in administrative proceedings. Li has applied those skills in patent and trademark correspondence, in visa and naturalization paperwork, and in appeals where written briefs carry the case. She combines technical legal drafting with a plain-language habit of explaining documents to clients.
At present she practices under the name Ava Li Law PLLC. The firm handles filings before administrative bodies, prepares transactional documents and represents individuals and small businesses in rights-related disputes. Li maintains memberships in professional organizations related to intellectual property and immigration law, which keep her connected to developments in both fields and to peers who practice in similar areas.
Her practice reflects a balance between regulatory work and client counseling. She regularly advises on procedural strategy and prepares written submissions for administrative review. Li also assists clients in evaluating the legal risks of creative and commercial projects. Her current practice focuses on intellectual property and immigration matters.
