Rakesh Madhava, the chief executive officer of Nextpoint, has extensive litigation experience, first as a litigation paralegal at, among other law firms, Kirkland & Ellis, and then as a litigation data consultant at FTI Consulting in the late 1990s. He was also the creative director of Hubbard One, now a division of Thomson Reuters, in 2000, where he "cut his teeth" on internet-based technologies supporting the practice of law. In 2001, Rakesh founded Nextpoint, which has been an internet-based platform since its inception.
