										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kelli Sager has 40 years of experience representing all kinds of media/entertainment companies, including web publishers, broadcasters, filmmakers, newspapers, and book publishers. She consistently has been recognized as one of the top First Amendment attorneys in the country: among other accolades, Chambers USA has ranked her for more than a dozen consecutive years in its top tier of media attorneys in the U.S.; she has been included for many years on the Los Angeles Daily Journal’s list of top lawyers in California; and in 2024, she was named to the Hollywood Reporter’s “Legal Legends” list, which honors attorneys “whose careers have had enduring impact on both the entertainment industry and the law.” In 2019, Kelli received the “Excellence in Advocacy” award from the Beverly Hills Bar Association, the first woman to receive that honor. Kelli has argued dozens of times in federal and state appellate courts, including many times in the California Supreme Court and 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. She has served in leadership roles in virtually every media-related bar association and nonprofit, including chairing the ABA Forum on Communications Law, the IBA’s Media Committee, and the Media Law Resource Center Defense Counsel Section; she also has served on committees for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for more than twenty years, including as chair of the Circuit Conference Committee (the first lawyer asked to serve in that role without a judicial co-chair), and currently serves on the Advisory Board to Chief Judge Mary Murguia.</p>
