Why This Firm
Hi! We’re Kendra Albert and Andy Sellars, and we’re public interest technology and media lawyers.
Albert Sellars LLP launched in 2025, and remains just two people. Before this, both of us worked in the technology law clinical space: Kendra was previously at the Cyberlaw Clinic at Harvard Law School, and Andy was at the BU/MIT Student Innovations Law Clinic at Boston University School of Law.
Our primary motivation for opening this firm was simple: it is hard for folks who are doing work toward justice in technology and media to find affordable counsel that shares their values, understanding their work, and is committed to their goals.
Both of us felt like there was more work to be done than we had the opportunity to do in our clinical jobs. We saw issues where our law clinics could not provide support—the work was too big, too longitudinal, or it would require too much preexisting expertise or relationships. But we also knew it wasn’t always well served by existing law firms: the clients were unusual, the work was rooted in advocacy instead of profit, or doing the work required a deeper understanding of tech advocacy or tech culture. We developed a shorthand as we started thinking about this: “bad fit for a clinic, too weird for a traditional firm.” And although advocacy organizations sometimes fill that niche, they can’t take on everyone.
And since our launch, we have found our people—or rather, they have found us. They have been up against tech titans. They speak truth to power. They challenge the status quo. They are, in short, exactly the people who deserve to have a lawyer in their corner. And we’re proud to be there with them.
We’re bringing the expectations we drilled into our students from our previous practices to Albert Sellars, namely that we:
Serve our clients’ goals, and not our own
Commit to providing every client with high quality lawyering
Are invested in our clients and in it for the long haul
And we’re bringing the people and professionals that we are:
Already immersed in the space
Nerdy and careful about the details
Fun to work with (if we do say so ourselves!)
We want to help our clients make the world better, in the ways only they can. We hope you’ll reach out to us if that’s you.
