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 and nuclear payloads. 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.
