Before law school, Raul studied engineering at Harvey Mudd College, with engineering coursework spanning electrical, mechanical, chemical, and materials disciplines. When clients describe their inventions, he engages directly with the technology and quickly understands the underlying technical details.

Raul began his legal career at one of the country's leading intellectual property law firms, representing Fortune 100 companies and working closely with sophisticated in-house legal and engineering teams. After nearly two decades of practice, he founded his own firm to provide that same level of thoughtful, high-quality representation in a more direct and personal way.

Today, Raul represents individuals, startups, and established companies in U.S. and international patent and trademark matters across a wide range of technologies.
