We’re Kendra and Andy, and together we’re Albert Sellars LLP, a public interest technology and media law firm. We represent individuals, organizations, and anyone fighting the good fight—to use technology to lift people up, to shine a light on risks caused by new (or old) tools, or to speak truth to power. We’re most at home helping our clients navigate copyright, newsgathering law, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and information privacy, but we go where the work takes us.
What We Work On
We work with clients who do provocative, unconventional, and justice-oriented work with information technology across a variety of domains. Practically, that means we help clients navigate legal risk and use the law to their advantage in areas like:
Collaboration and expression – speaking out, organizing, and publishing in both physical and digital spaces.
Software and platform investigation – poking at software and systems to understand their function and impact on the world.
Software and website preservation – helping preserve our digital artifacts and online content.
Privacy, encryption, and countersurveillance – using law, technology, and the two together to safeguard information from powerful governments and organizations.
Tech equity and justice – calling for a more inclusive and just world.
Lawyers with Personality
At Albert Sellars, we know that you have a choice of legal services. That’s why we can guarantee that all of our lawyers have:
hatched at least one scheme over a bottle of whiskey.
spent a couple of years working in live entertainment.
put a snarky (yet appropriate) footnote in a public filing.
declared allegiance to a favorite scholar of contract drafting (fortunately, it’s the same one).
spent more time ice-skating than the average New Englander.
laughed too hard at their own obscure legal jokes.
embarked upon a years-long campaign to fix a law that sucks.
Jokes aside, we do this work because we’re invested in people and projects. If anything here strikes a chord, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
