From her roots at Nanjing University to earning a Juris Doctor (JD) from the University of Virginia, Min Shi’s journey is one of determination, resilience, and cultural pride. After starting her legal career at top U.S. law firms, she eventually forged her own path by founding The Shi Law Group—a boutique firm based in New York that now serves clients across the globe.

As a Chinese-American woman navigating both elite legal circles and the immigrant experience, Min brings a unique perspective to her work. Her mission goes beyond legal advice: she empowers families—especially in the Chinese and Asian-American communities—to take control of their futures through thoughtful estate planning, wealth preservation, and cross-border strategies.

This is more than just a career story—it’s a testament to what’s possible when you stay rooted in your identity while reaching for something greater.

From Nanjing University to earning her JD at the University of Virginia, from working at top U.S. law firms to starting her own practice—this is the inspiring story of a Chinese-American woman lawyer building a legacy in New York.

At The Shi Law Group, we help clients plan for the future, protect their loved ones, and preserve multigenerational wealth. Our focus areas include trusts and estates, tax planning, asset protection, and corporate law.
