Jeff Holman, founder of Intellectual Strategies, is changing the way startups and scaling businesses access legal support. As the creator of the first Fractional Legal Team at Intellectual Strategies, he’s made it possible for companies to tap into expert legal advice at key points in their growth—without needing a full-time, in-house team. This innovative approach means businesses get exactly the help they need, when they need it, and without the hefty overhead, helping them navigate everything from early-stage challenges to high-stakes scaling decisions.
But Jeff’s expertise doesn’t stop there. He’s a multifaceted entrepreneur with degrees in electrical engineering, law, and an MBA, blending technical savvy with a sharp legal mind. Admitted to practice in California, Utah, and before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, he’s a true jack-of-all-trades—an inventor, a strategist, and an attorney who’s been tackling complex business and legal problems for over two decades. With a unique ability to translate between technical and legal frameworks, Jeff’s work at Intellectual Strategies spans intellectual property, business strategy, and technology law. His Fractional Legal Team model is revolutionizing how companies access the legal support they need, empowering them to focus on what they do best while he handles the complexities in the background. Jeff’s commitment to innovative solutions has positioned Intellectual Strategies as a go-to resource for ambitious companies looking to thrive in today’s fast-paced business world.
