Benchmark Litigation, described as “the definitive guide to the market’s leading firms and lawyers,” recently released its 2024 rankings, and Alto Litigation and its attorneys received several honors.
Alto Litigation was ranked a Recommended Firm in California, a Tier 1 Firm in San Francisco for Dispute Resolution, and was also highly ranked in San Francisco for Securities Litigation. Benchmark also recognized founding partner Bahram Seyedin-Noor as a “Litigation Star” in Securities and General Commercial Litigation; partner Bryan Ketroser as a “Litigation Star” in Securities Litigation; and partner Joshua Korr as a “Future Star” (40 and under).
Rankings are based on extensive interviews of clients and peers. Benchmark’s 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 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-three 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, “Bahram is a brilliant attorney and excellent problem-solver. He is responsive, thorough, effective, and pragmatic – a rare combination.”
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.”
Joshua is an experienced attorney, well-practiced in litigating a broad range of business disputes in California state and federal courts, and in arbitrations with JAMS and AAA. His areas of expertise include securities litigation, general business disputes, internal and government investigations, trade secrets, high-net-worth family law and Marvin actions, and appellate litigation. He graduated in the top of his class at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.
