Alto Litigation is San Francisco boutique representing industry titans throughout the Bay Area. It 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. Principal among the firm’s specialized areas of representation is its securities practice, which is regularly called upon to represent high-profile clients in a variety of matters, including securities class actions and trade secrets disputes. “We regularly consult with Alto Litigation when we have securities and corporate-governance issues,” testifies a client. “Alto has a team of exceptionally knowledgeable and responsive litigators. They are unusually skilled at seeing every angle to maximize opportunities for a successful outcome.” The firm draws its vitality from founder and visionary securities trial attorney Bahram Seyedin-Noor, who has assembled an elite and talented team of litigators and guided them to prominence in the Golden State. “Alto really espouses this kind of fearless approach,” declares one peer. “It’s kind of like a knife fight out here [in the Bay Area] for work, but Alto seems to be getting a seat at the table, finding themselves across from titans like Quinn [Emanuel] and Cooley! Bahram has it all – the drive, the hunger, the right amount of aggression but also knowing when to play it cool and sit back and pay attention, turning observations into his advantage.” A client declares, “Bahram is one of the most brilliant, well rounded attorneys with whom I have worked. He is extremely knowledgeable and persuasive.” Seyedin-Noor led a team, which also included
Bryan Ketroser, that represented a start-up, its CEO and co-founder, and another of its directors in litigation brought by the company’s other co-founder. The plaintiff alleged that the CEO improperly removed them as an officer and director, and pursued corporate transactions without their knowledge. The Alto team also includes relatively new partner
Josh Korr, about whom a peer testifies, “He was the best student in his class at UCSF Law School. He had done a stint at MoFo [Morrison & Foerster] and he was tired of it, he didn’t want to grind it out and wanted some real work. He’s a real ‘right-and-left brain’ person. He’s a brilliant writer, writes these pithy and sometimes funny complaints. He’s also a musician – he always has a band and he’s very creative.” A client calls Korr “very good with communication and advice. [He is] Great at listening and working together towards to do what's in the best interest of our company.” Korr is already making a name for himself in a thorny case with intersecting elements of family law and probate law concerning high-net-worth individuals.
