Slater Legal is a dynamic law firm dedicated to pursuing justice in critical areas of civil rights, immigrants’ rights, free speech, and intellectual property. Led by James Slater, the firm is known for its "radically good lawyers" who are tireless in their pursuit of justice, regardless of the opponent.

• Immigrants’ Rights: Advocating for noncitizens in federal court regarding unlawful detention, denials, delays, and conditions in detention.
• Speech & Public Records: Defending media, activists, and individuals in First Amendment and defamation matters, including criminal cases involving protected speech, and litigating public records/FOIA cases nationwide.
• Intellectual Property: Representing creative ventures in copyright and trademark litigation, trademark prosecution, and providing IP counseling.

James Slater is a highly accomplished attorney licensed in Florida, Georgia, and the District of Columbia, with extensive admissions to federal district and appellate courts across the country. Based in Atlanta, James brings a unique background to his practice, including a Master’s degree in Slavic Languages and Literatures and fluency in Russian, proficiency in Spanish and Polish, and ongoing studies in Mandarin and American Sign Language. His diverse experience includes practicing at boutique IP and media law firms, co-directing a homeless legal advocacy project, and serving as a judicial law clerk.
