CAIT SHORTELL, Esq.
​Attorney/Owner at Shortell Law LLC
J.D. 1999, Northeastern University School of Law;
B.A. 1994, Cum Laude, University of California at Berkeley.

• I am an experienced Alaskan lawyer with an abiding interest in civil rights and employee side representation. After working as a judicial law clerk, an Assistant Public Defender, an Assistant Attorney General, and at the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights, I formed my own private practice in 2009.
• I was part of the legal team that assured same sex marriage rights in Alaska and helped write and pass the Anchorage Equal Rights Ordinance.
• Unlike most other firms in Alaska that represent corporations and governments, I fight for the rights of individuals, including sexual assault survivors, educators, parents, accountants, physicians, construction workers, laborers, operators, executives, engineers, and any other individual who is being treated unfairly or discriminated against based on race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, national origin, marital status, parental status, pregnancy, or a combination of these bases.
• I was born and raised in Anchorage. I have spent my legal career helping individuals and groups enforce their rights through the courts. I look forward to helping you with your employment and civil rights legal issues.
