A Road Less Traveled: National Security Careers After Law School – Albert Sanders

On Thursday, February 16th, NSLS and the Reiss Center on Law and Security will co-host this year’s third “A Road Less Traveled” lunch event, featuring Albert Sanders. The series features career talks with national security law and policy practitioners in candid conversations about their paths after law school. Featured speakers hail from a diverse range of backgrounds—including government, advocacy, private sector, and/or scholarly work—and address both the details of their work as well as a broader view of their career trajectories.

Sanders is an attorney and strategic advisor with experience counseling corporate leaders, U.S. Senators, Cabinet Secretaries, and the President of the United States. Currently, as Director of Government Affairs & Public Policy for Google Cloud, Albert leads a team of attorneys and subject matter experts who advise Google executives on regulatory issues impacting global infrastructure, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, the regulation of data, and human rights. Albert works directly with public and private stakeholders in developing countries who are leveraging cloud computing technology to drive innovation, improve local economies, and enhance digital literacy.

Prior to joining Google, Albert was Associate Counsel to President Barack Obama in the Office of White House Counsel, where he provided legal and strategic counsel on cybersecurity, privacy, congressional investigations, and high stakes litigation. Albert’s public service experience includes serving as Counselor to the General Counsel at the Department of Homeland Security and as Judiciary Committee Counsel to Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the Assistant Majority Leader.

The event will take place in Vanderbilt Hall Room 202 from 12pm-1pm. Lunch will be served.
