About Lei
Lei Bai earned her J.D. from the University of California, Davis, where she completed the coursework that prepared her for a multi-jurisdictional legal career. She moved from law school into practice with an orientation toward handling matters that cross state lines. Early years after law school included building the practical skills that support advising clients whose legal questions do not fit neatly inside a single state’s borders.
Bai is licensed to practice in Oregon, New York and California. That multi-state admission shapes much of her work. It allows her to advise clients under differing state rules and to coordinate filings or proceedings that span more than one jurisdiction. Maintaining licenses in three states requires staying current on each jurisdiction’s procedural and ethical rules, a responsibility she continues to meet.
Her career path has been defined less by a single specialization and more by a concentration on cases and transactions that require cross-border coordination. She approaches matters by identifying the relevant state and, when necessary, federal touchpoints. The result is a practice that handles questions about jurisdiction, choice of law and inter-state procedure alongside more routine legal tasks. Colleagues describe her as methodical and thorough in preparing matters that involve more than one state.
Bai operates the Law Offices of Lei. From that office she manages client work across the three states where she is admitted. Her practice addresses matters that begin in one state and touch another, whether through related litigation, contract negotiation or regulatory issues. She structures client engagements to reflect the geographic scope of the dispute or transaction and to minimize the need for repeated re-filing or redundant procedures.
Outside specific case work, Bai emphasizes clear communication. She aims to explain why a matter takes certain steps in Oregon but different steps in New York or California. That practical clarity helps clients set realistic expectations about timeline and cost. Her current practice concentrates on advising and representing clients in matters that span Oregon, New York and California.
