Alt Legal Acquires WebTMS, Combining Modern Automation with Proven Global IP Portfolio Management
New York, NY — April 16, 2026 — Alt Legal, a modern, cloud-based trademark management
platform, today announced that WebTMS is now part of Alt Legal. The combination brings
together two highly complementary platforms—uniting advanced automation and intuitive
design with decades of global IP portfolio management expertise.
Alt Legal, founded in 2013 by an attorney and IP paralegal, delivers an automation-first
approach to IP docketing and portfolio management. With a strong commitment to delivering
exceptional service and support, Alt Legal is trusted by over 1,300 organizations worldwide. Its

more. Trusted by leading global law firms and multinational corporations, WebTMS is known for
deep configurability, hands-on client service, and long-standing customer relationships spanning

“This combination is about bringing together complementary strengths to better serve our
customers,” said Rita O’kyere, Director, Sales & Marketing, WebTMS. “Alt Legal’s automation
and user experience, combined with WebTMS’s depth in global portfolio management, positions
us to deliver even greater capabilities—without disrupting what already works. Our focus
remains on service, reliability, and a customer-led approach to innovation.”
“We’re not just combining two platforms—we’re bringing together automation, design- and
customer-forward approaches, and services like integrated global trademark monitoring and
paralegal support that go beyond docketing software,” said Nehal Madhani, CEO of Alt
Legal. “Our goal is to give global trademark professionals everything they need to succeed.”
The combined companies will take a deliberate, customer-driven approach to future
development, including the formation of a Customer Advisory Board to ensure direct input into
product direction and priorities. Together, Alt Legal and WebTMS will deliver a more
comprehensive, automated platform for global trademark professionals while continuing to
support the workflows customers depend on today.
