There’s an engineering mindset. And there’s a lawyer mindset. The engineer in me hasn’t left. ~ Monica Goyal
Monica Goyal (@MonicaNGoyal) is an engineer, a technologist, and adjunct law professor, legal startup founder and practicing lawyer. (I don’t know how she does it all either!)
In addition to her law practice in a range of areas including business, technology and IP, Monica also dedicates her energies to bringing the future to law and justice.
Some of her future-building activities include legal startups like MyLegalBriefcase and Aluvion Law. She’s also working to create a new breed of innovation-minded legal professionals through teaching legal tech at Osgoode Law and the Institute for the Future of Law Practice.
