Benchmark Litigation, described as “the definitive guide to the market’s leading firms and lawyers,” recently released its 2026 rankings, and Alto Litigation and its attorneys received several prestigious honors, including Bahram Seyedin-Noor being recognized as a “National Practice Area Star” in securities and commercial litigation.
Alto Litigation was ranked a Recommended Firm in California. In addition to receiving National Practice Area Star recognition, Bahram, as well as Bryan Ketroser, were designated as a “Litigation Star,” and partner Joshua Korr as a “Future Star.”
Rankings are based on extensive interviews with clients and peers. Benchmark’s 2026 analysis noted that Alto Litigation “is known for its trial-tested ability to dynamically punch well above its weight class against the nation’s largest top firms in several litigation niches, representing prominent companies and entrepreneurs, as well as other individual clients, in both defense and plaintiff roles”
Bahram, a graduate of Harvard Law School, has tried cases before judges and juries in California and Delaware, and was a law clerk to Judge James Ware in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Over the last twenty-five years, Bahram has achieved dozens of victories in securities class actions, derivative lawsuits, arbitrations, trade secrets, and fiduciary duty disputes. In 2021 and 2019, Benchmark Litigation named Bahram the “San Francisco Attorney of the Year” and nominated him for “California Securities Litigation Attorney of the Year” alongside only three other attorneys in the State in multiple years. Chambers & Partners ranks Bahram among California’s top securities litigation practitioners. During Benchmark’s evaluation, a client noted that Bahram is “astute, experienced, and able to generate creative options and navigate through them.”
Bryan, a graduate of Yale Law School, concentrates his practice on securities litigation, complex commercial litigation, and SEC investigations. He represents technology companies, entrepreneurs, officers, directors, employees and shareholders in high-stakes matters in California, Delaware, and other courts throughout the United States. Benchmark Litigation has recognized Bryan as a Litigation Star since 2021 and, before that, repeatedly included him in its “40 & Under Hot List.” A client shared the following feedback with Benchmark: “Bryan is easy to talk to and personable, and he provides extremely smart and thoughtful advice. He is good at seeing through complex situations and distilling them. Any client would be lucky to have him in their corner.”
