Syed Law was created with serving the small business owners and their legal needs. Ahad Syed is a trusted lawyer serving small businesses in the Chicago and Los Angeles areas.

During his legal career, Ahad Syed has represented Fortune 500 and multinational companies in transactional and litigation matters. He also has a wide degree of sophistication with contract, IP, and real estate matters affecting small to mid-sized businesses and quickly find solutions to their legal issues. While other law firms charge clients a premium with little value and (often) poor communication, Syed Law's philosophy is different: Ahad Syed created Syed Law with a sliding-scale and alternative fee agreements for flexibility, demands the very best results for his clients, and believes that an attorney must respond quickly to his or her clients.

Clients are demanding attorneys communicate quickly with them, and Syed Law is willing to go the extra mile to ensure client satisfaction.
