New York, December 11, 2025 — Alt Legal, Inc., the leading provider of docketing software for global trademark professionals, today announced a strategic growth investment led by SSM Partners (SSM), with participation from The LegalTech Fund (TLTF).

The investment follows a period of rapid growth for Alt Legal, driven by a market-wide shift for modern, automated docketing systems. The company has also seen surging demand among large multinational law firms and corporate legal teams moving away from legacy systems to adopt Alt Legal’s highly automated software.

SSM Partners, a growth equity firm with a strong track record in vertical software and tech-enabled services, led the investment to accelerate Alt Legal’s expansions into new geographies, product innovation across the trademark lifecycle, and scaling its growing paralegal and docketing support service, Alt Legal Assist.

“Alt Legal has proven that it can scale effectively while maintaining customer satisfaction that is unmatched by its competitors,” said Hunter Witherington, Managing Partner at SSM Partners. “The company is the clear category leader, and we are thrilled to support a team that has built such deep trust with trademark professionals.”

The LegalTech Fund also joined this investment round, bringing deep sector expertise and credibility in the legaltech industry. “Alt Legal is tackling a real, everyday challenge for IP professionals with technology that makes trademark management clear and usable,” said Gordon Crenshaw, Partner at TLTF. “We’re excited to support their continued growth within the legal industry.”

“We’re excited to have SSM Partners and The LegalTech Fund as our strategic investors,” said Nehal Madhani, CEO of Alt Legal. “The investment will accelerate our global market expansion and product innovation in trademark management, delivering even greater value to our clients throughout the trademark lifecycle.”
