As a member of the Littler CaseSmart – Charges™ team and based in Ohio, Ya Li is responsible for handling charges from investigation to conclusion. She works on client-dedicated service teams, focusing on handling administrative agency charges.

In partnership with the client, she defends the charge by drafting persuasive position statements and responses to the agency’s requests for information.
In her immediate past role as a management-side employment attorney, Ya drafted numerous position statements filed at the federal, state, and local levels throughout the country, and obtained no probable cause determinations as well as favorable settlements at mediation.
In addition, given her prior role as an attorney at the New York City Commission on Human Rights, she has extensive experience reviewing and analyzing position statements, issuing requests for information, interviewing witnesses, and ultimately rendering merit-based determinations.
