Justia Legal Services & Lawyers Directory

My practice is divided between general litigation matters and my technology practice.

I spend most of my day in court, so please don't hesitate to leave me a message.

I am a startup business lawyer and litigator practicing in Silicon Valley as head of a 4-lawyer boutique firm, George Grellas & Associates.

We are business lawyers with a specialty in early-stage tech startups. Since 1984, we have helped small to medium-sized businesses, startups, entrepreneurs, and executives - several thousand in all. We help form companies - fund them - sell or merge or acquire them - sell their assets - do their corporate work, employment work, contracts, leases, and standard terms - licensing, trademark, and IP work - founder and equity incentive structures - commercial deals of all types. We also do litigation: business - corporate - contract - fraud - trade secret - unfair competition - employment - business break-ups - commercial litigation generally.

I am a member of the State Bar-CEB Business and Intellectual Property Law Advisory Committee and a frequent contributing author to CEB business publications (Counseling California Corporations (3rd edition 2008); Advising California Partnerships (3rd edition 2009); California Business Law Practitioner Journal)). CEB stands for Continuing Education of the Bar and has been a leading publisher of lawyer practitioner treatises in California, in affiliation with our State Bar, for over 70 years.

Years ago, in law school, I also served as Chief Technical Editor of the Santa Clara Law Review.

I recently served as President of the Sunnyvale-Cupertino Bar Association (2008-09) and have served on its board of directors for many years.

I also am a member of the Santa Clara Bar Association and the State Bar of California.

Mr. Ebrahimzadeh has proudly served as an At Large Member of the Board of Directors of the National Lawyer's Guild, San Francisco Chapter - one of our nation's oldest, most prestigious, and effective associations of progressive attorneys committed to working for social justice.

Mr. Ebrahimzadeh is the Founder and President of Ethos Pathos Logos, a Pro Bono Organization of Concerned Citizens motivating and informing the public on how to become Earth and People Friendly.

A bit about Aly, personally: He speaks fluent French, Spanish, Italian, and Farsi, as well as basic German. He has traveled and worked extensively throughout Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and North America. He is a musician, a dancer, a writer, and a visual artist. He enjoys motorcycle travels, slow food, music from bluegrass to folk, jazz to classical, rough playing with his two white German Shepherds, and coaching youth sports. More than anything else, he loves walking in local flower gardens and having quiet picnics with his son.

As our attorney, he understands and appreciates our clients' need for justice, and he is dedicated to providing exactly that with grace and passion. Through his work, he represents a very diverse clientele. He focuses on nurturing serenity and creativity, and he remains a zealous and intensely aggressive advocate of all our Civil, Human and Environmental Rights.

We invite you to contact us so that we can meet soon in one of our elegant offices for an Initial Consultation to discuss an effective strategy to peacefully resolve your serious concerns. We look forward to working together with you to help you bring Justice to our world.
