Sahil Malhotra is a passionate and strategic Intellectual Property attorney who founded Drishti Law to help innovators protect their dreams and bring their ideas to life. The word Drishti, meaning “vision,” reflects Sahil’s mission—to turn client innovation into secure, lasting value. With a unique combination of technical insight and legal experience, he is committed to guiding creators, entrepreneurs, and businesses through today’s increasingly complex IP landscape.

Sahil earned his J.D. from the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law, where he served as a student attorney in the school’s Intellectual Property Clinic. There, he supported small businesses and individuals in building and defending their trademarks, including successfully responding to USPTO office actions. This hands-on experience solidified his understanding of IP protection’s legal and practical sides.

Sahil further deepened his expertise as a trademark law clerk at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), where he reviewed trademark applications and gained invaluable insights into federal registration processes. Sahil remains active in the IP law community and regularly engages with legal organizations and conferences focused on innovation, brand protection, and evolving industry standards.

Licensed to practice in Illinois (2021) and the District of Columbia (2022), Sahil brings practical, forward-thinking solutions to clients navigating trademarks, IP strategy, and portfolio management. He understands the unique challenges that startups, small businesses, and creatives face in a competitive global economy—and he’s here to help them build a solid foundation of legal protection around their brand and vision.
