Altair Law

What Altair Law does

Altair Law is a privately-held boutique trial litigation firm headquartered at 465 California Street in San Francisco, California, specializing in catastrophic personal injury and employment litigation. The firm operates with a 9-attorney team (6 partners and 3 associates) and supports a multilingual client base in English, Spanish, Hindi, and Punjabi. Its practice spans roughly 15 specialized areas, including vehicle-related accidents (bicycle, car, rideshare, motorcycle), catastrophic injuries (traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, burns, amputations), medical malpractice, product liability, premises liability, public entity liability, wrongful death, and a dedicated employment practice covering discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and executive severance negotiation.

The firm monetizes exclusively through contingency fee arrangements, charging no attorney fees unless it recovers compensation for the client; case-related costs are advanced and deducted from any recovery. Distribution is hybrid: a sales-led direct-to-consumer motion offering free consultations and on-site intake at hospitals or clients' homes across nine Bay Area cities, supplemented by referral partnerships with workers' compensation attorneys, co-counsel engagements with class action firms (notably a 2021 partnership with Blood Hurst & O'Reardon yielding a $50M settlement), and community outreach through the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. Altair Law markets itself through a content-heavy website, the Verdict Academy and Your Cup of Counsel podcasts, case-result publications, and earned media from legal industry awards.

The firm's core technical differentiator is trial-ready case preparation supported by accident reconstruction specialists, biomechanical experts, and medical graphics used to convey injury impacts to defense counsel, insurance adjusters, and jurors. This positioning has produced publicly disclosed outcomes including $384M+ recovered since 2018, a $40M products liability jury verdict, and a $24.5M birth-injury medical malpractice settlement, with leadership consistently ranked by Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, Lawdragon, and the Daily Journal.
