Ava Na Li

Ava Li has a strong understanding of both U.S. and Chinese trademark and copyright law. She holds an LL.M. in Intellectual Property and a J.D., and has handled hundreds of trademark cases. Early in her career, she helped win the well-known “Water Cube” trademark case in China. She has also worked on copyright licensing for Broadway shows and provided legal support for the Olympic Games. With experience in both legal systems, Ava helps clients protect their intellectual property across the U.S. and China.

Ava also has deep experience in business immigration, including EB-1A, EB-1B, EB-1C, EB-2 NIW, L-1, and H-1B visa petitions.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, she expanded her practice to include estate planning, helping clients plan ahead for their families and futures.

Beyond law, Ava has a background in business and writing. She founded a web design company and is a published author. Her story Nine-Headed Phoenix’s Gift appeared in the University of Iowa’s literary magazine during her time in the International Writing Program. She has also completed novels such as Dust and Spring and Cloud’s Oracle, Rain’s Fate.

With her mix of legal, creative, and technical experience, Ava offers clients not only legal support—but a true understanding of their ideas and goals.
