About Yuan
Yuan Li studied physics before she turned to law. She earned a B.S. in Material Physics from Sichuan University in 2007. Later she pursued graduate legal studies in the United States and completed an LL.M. in Laws at the University of California, Berkeley in 2018. Those two degrees sit at the center of a career that crosses national boundaries.
Her path into the law followed academic inquiry and international study. After Berkeley she moved into practice that bridged her education and her bi-jurisdictional credentials. She is admitted in California and is a member of the All China Lawyers Association. That dual standing informs the work she takes and the clients she advises.
Throughout her career she has worked in settings that require both technical precision and legal judgment. Colleagues describe her as methodical and attentive to detail. She has handled matters that required translating complex concepts into practical legal strategies. That ability to move between technical explanation and legal argument has marked her professional approach.
Her office affiliation is with Demidchik Law Office, where she practices alongside other attorneys serving an international clientele. At the firm she collaborates on matters that involve cross-border elements and legal questions that touch on both California and Chinese law. She has advised clients on regulatory, commercial and transactional issues, drawing on her academic background and her bar admission.
Clients come to her for reasoned counsel rather than quick answers. She is known for careful analysis and for setting expectations clearly at the outset of an engagement. Her work often involves coordinating with counsel in other jurisdictions and preparing materials that can be used in multiple legal systems. That practical orientation is a consistent thread in her files.
Outside the office she remains connected to academic developments through continuing study and contact with former professors and peers. She keeps up with developments in both California and Chinese legal practice. That ongoing attention helps her translate new legal trends into advice her clients can use.
In practice she combines a scientific training in material physics with legal study in the United States to address matters that span California and China. Her practice concentrates on legal matters involving clients and transactions in California and China.
