Yaqi (“Angela”) Xie has a passion for helping companies navigate complex disputes with confidence and clarity. Her approach to client service is built on collaboration and deep engagement, as she strives to become an extension of her clients’ teams rather than merely serving as a legal advisor. By taking the time to understand the core issues impacting each client’s business, she provides practical and strategic advice that aligns with their long-term goals.

Angela believes that the best litigation outcomes are achieved through close collaboration with clients, working together to identify both legal and business solutions. By developing a deep understanding of the industries in which her clients operate, she anticipates challenges and offers strategies that minimize disruption while protecting her clients’ interests. Her goal is to guide clients through the litigation process with clear communication, ensuring they feel informed and confident at every stage.

One of the most rewarding aspects of Angela’s practice has been helping clients resolve disputes that have the potential to disrupt their operations. She also recognizes that litigation can be a stressful and uncertain process for clients, which is why she places a strong emphasis on transparency and communication. Angela prioritizes explaining the intricacies of each case in plain language, ensuring clients are fully informed at every step. Whether advising on settlement options, preparing for trial, or managing complex procedural matters, she works closely with clients to align litigation strategies with their business objectives.

Angela’s commitment to clear, effective client service is shaped by her early interest in problem-solving and strategic thinking. Drawn to business litigation because of its dynamic nature, she appreciates the unique challenges each case presents and approaches every matter with intellectual curiosity and a tailored strategy. This mindset drives her to continually refine her skills, stay ahead of emerging legal trends, and bring innovative solutions to her clients.

Ultimately, Angela’s goal is to provide clients with the tools and support they need to resolve disputes effectively and efficiently, while helping them minimize risk and protect their bottom line. Every case represents an opportunity to advocate for her clients and help them achieve the best possible outcome—both in the courtroom and in the broader marketplace.
