Ali is a founding partner at Saeed & Little, LLP whose practice currently focuses on: (1) Corporate law, where he serves as general counsel for small, medium, large and some publicly traded companies.; and (2) providing thoughtful and meaningful Estate Planning services.

Ali has a uniquely diverse and sophisticated set of legal experiences allowing him to provide legal counsel to business owners, businesses, and families in a way not many can. As a litigator, Ali has represented both consumers and businesses (against other businesses) in a wide variety of disputes including some of the largest class-action lawsuits in the country involving consumer protection and civil rights statutes. Ali has negotiated settlements worth more than 85 million dollars on behalf of consumers and citizens. As a general counsel, Ali represents several small- to medium-sized businesses, as well as large publicly traded corporations as general counsel. Ali has represented such businesses through numerous multi-million-dollar deals, compliance audits, mergers, and acquisitions, as well as litigations involving contractual and IP disputes against other businesses. As an estate planning attorney, Ali has worked hard to develop thoughtful and meaningful estate planning strategies for young families and business owners to ensure that families are not left exposed to unnecessary costs, taxes, and conflicts.

Ali has acquired a diverse set of skills and knowledge base representing clients in high stakes disputes and transactions.
