About Rekha Valluru
Rekha Valluru Rao earned her law degree from Pace Law School. She entered the legal profession after completing her studies there and went on to build a private practice in the tri-state area. Her legal education at Pace provided the foundation for a career that spans both client work and professional association involvement.
She is admitted to practice in New York and maintains professional ties in New Jersey. Rao has been an active member of the New Jersey State Bar Association. She also serves as Treasurer of the South Asian Bar Association of New Jersey, a role that places her in charge of financial oversight and reporting for the group’s activities.
Rao’s career blends practice and service. At professional meetings she appears regularly on panels and participates in programming aimed at young lawyers and community outreach. Her association work gives her a steady view of issues that affect local practitioners and the clients they serve. The treasurer role requires attention to budgets, fiscal procedures and governance matters, and she has handled those responsibilities in an organizational setting.
In private practice she works out of Rao Legal Group, LLC. There she manages client matters, supervises case strategy and coordinates with colleagues and outside professionals when a case requires broader support. Her approach to client files is practical. She tends to focus on clear communication, careful file management and pragmatic resolution of issues.
Colleagues describe her as methodical in how she approaches both client work and administrative duties. She balances day-to-day case work with the administrative demands that come from running a practice and serving on nonprofit boards. That balance is a consistent feature of her professional life.
Rao remains active in bar leadership while maintaining a practice at Rao Legal Group, LLC. She continues to accept client matters and to participate in bar association programs and governance. Her current practice focuses on serving clients through her work at Rao Legal Group, LLC and through her ongoing service in professional associations.
