Monica Grewal’s career as an intellectual property lawyer was shaped by deep technical training, in‑house experience, and senior‑level private practice. Prior to joining WilmerHale, she was a partner and co‑founder of the intellectual property group at a local general practice firm, practiced at two intellectual property boutique firms, and served as an in‑house intellectual property attorney at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. Her legal work is grounded in significant engineering experience from her earlier career at United Technologies’ Hamilton Standard Division, where she worked on multiple US space programs, including advanced testing of NASA spacesuit and space shuttle environmental control systems. She retired from WilmerHale in 2025.

Ms. Grewal has been widely recognized for her technical and professional leadership. She received multiple awards for her engineering work, including for her role in the 1994 Hubble Space Telescope Repair Mission, and has held prominent leadership positions within the intellectual property bar. She served as President of the PTAB Bar Association, after previously acting as its secretary and founding director, and as past president of the Board of Governors of the Boston Patent Law Association.
