Career
Albrecht is the chair of the Liberty Justice Center, a nonprofit legal organization that litigates cases involving constitutional rights, administrative law, and economic regulation.
During her tenure, the organization has participated in litigation across the United States, including cases involving labor law, federal regulatory authority, and executive power. The organization gained national attention for its role in Janus v. AFSCME (2018), in which the United States Supreme Court held that public-sector employees cannot be required to pay union agency fees as a condition of employment.[1]
The organization has also been involved in litigation challenging federal regulatory actions, including BST Holdings v. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, in which the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a nationwide stay of a federal COVID-19 workplace vaccine mandate.[2]
In 2025 and 2026, the organization filed litigation in the United States Court of International Trade challenging federal tariff policies, including V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. Trump and Burlap & Barrel, Inc. v. Trump.
Albrecht has been quoted in national media coverage regarding constitutional challenges to federal tariff policies. In reporting on litigation challenging the tariffs, The Wall Street Journal quoted her as stating that tariffs are taxes and that the Constitution assigns taxing authority to Congress rather than the president.[3]
She has also been featured in interviews discussing constitutional litigation and federal trade policy. In a 2026 Bloomberg interview, she discussed the Supreme Court tariff case and the constitutional limits on executive authority.[4]
Business career
Before her work in nonprofit legal advocacy, Albrecht was the owner of Ultimo, a Chicago-based women's clothing retail business.
In 2000, she acquired the business as part of a transition of ownership following the departure of its prior leadership.[5]
Following the acquisition, she undertook efforts to reposition and restructure the retailer.[6]
She later oversaw operations during a period of continued transition and repositioning of the business.[7]
The acquisition of Ultimo was reported as part of a broader shift in ownership of high-end retail businesses in Chicago.[8]
