“It’s a tool made for what I do.” This is how Mitesh Patel, an intellectual property lawyer at Hopkins & Carley, describes Alt Legal, a legal technology that helps law firms and companies of all sizes automate trademark docketing. The company was founded in 2013 by Nehal Madhani, formerly an attorney at Kirkland & Ellis LLP.

To listen to Patel speak about the process of onboarding and using Alt Legal is to hear a lawyer whose practice has truly been transformed by the adoption of modern technology. Patel helped drive the firm’s transition from an older IP docketing system to Alt Legal.
