Founding Partner
Jack and Bailey founded Aegis because of a desire to wake up each day loving what they do and the people with whom they work. From the members of our team to the clients that allowed us to become trusted members of their teams, that goal has been realized. Each day, Aegis strives to create efficiencies and innovation in legal services that bring better quality of work and drive down legal costs for clients. Aegis serves the space industry because we are passionate about the broader service to humanity that space offers, and we can help democratize that access through making legal assistance more accessible.
Bailey is a founding member and partner at Aegis Space Law,
a boutique firm focused on the space industry. Her primary expertise is in
international trade law (ITAR, EAR, OFAC) with a secondary emphasis on
regulations as they pertain to U.S. launch regulations. In
addition to her legal work at Aegis, Bailey is a Board Member and part of the
founding team of the Association of Commercial Space Professionals (ACSP), a
non-profit established to democratize access to space by teaching regulatory
compliance and advocacy to commercial space startups.
Prior to establishing Aegis, Bailey designed and managed
international trade compliance programs for various multi-national aerospace
and defense manufacturers. She also provided expertise in government and
commercial contracting and anti-bribery laws. Before all that, she was a public
defender in Texas and a law student at the University of Mississippi School of
Law.
Bailey enjoys hanging out with her husband, daughter, and
menagerie of pets at her home in North Carolina. She has many hobbies but isn’t
particularly good at any of them because she can’t seem to pick one. Her
favorite activities are meeting new people and learning new things.
Bailey focuses her practice in the following areas (with the following percentages showing approximate time spent per area for current clients)
