Bob Battaglia is currently co-founder and CEO of One Legal, formerly known as Fax & File Legal Services, San Rafael, California. The company created the fax court filing business at a time when fax machines were still relatively new and courts and lawyers did not like to accept faxed documents. Back then, the widely held, yet incorrect, belief was that you needed to have an original signature to make the document legal.

Mr. Battaglia founded, built, and sold five companies for profit. He left a corporate job in New York, and after traveling around the world for a year, embarked on his first entrepreneurial ventures in Hong Kong. They involved apparel manufacturing and retailing, publishing, and international trading. In the Philippines, Mr. Battaglia's company started and operated eight pizza restaurants in the metro Manila area. He returned to the U.S. and founded Fettuccine Brothers, which was later sold to Kraft, and Snow Lion Mountaineering, which he also later sold.
