Alto Litigation Founder and CEO Bahram Seyedin-Noor has been recognized in Band 1 for commercial disputes in the 2026 Legal 500 US City Elite Guide: San Francisco & Silicon Valley. According to Legal 500, the US City Elite rankings emphasize lawyers who are handling work at the top of the legal market in their respective cities. A Band 1 ranking signifies that Bahram is among the highest rated commercial disputes lawyers in the guide.

The Legal 500 is a leading global research and data platform that benchmarks attorneys and law firms worldwide. The Legal 500 US City Elite rankings are based on interviews with top practitioners, references, and peer feedback, and evidence of key matters worked on by the ranked attorneys during the past year. The selection process begins with Legal 500’s researchers creating a list of prospective candidates that is extensively reviewed by an editorial team.

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. He is ranked among California’s leading securities litigators by Chambers & Partners and was twice named San Francisco Litigator of the Year by Benchmark Litigation. Legal 500’s analysis calls Bahram “a key choice for those engaged in matters involving trade secrets, securities or boardroom clashes, owing to his skill in applying IP principles to securities frameworks.”
