Partner

Malibu, CA

Bahar is a partner at Clarkson, where her practice focuses on consumer class actions involving food labeling, cosmetics, and other consumer products. As one of the very first associates at Clarkson, Bahar has played an integral role in the firm’s growth and continued success, helping to secure significant results for consumers—including victories in slack-fill litigation and other key areas of false advertising law.

Bahar has been appointed Class Counsel in numerous multimillion-dollar nationwide class action settlements, including the largest known class action lawsuit involving a "no preservatives" claim. In recognition of her expertise in the field, Bahar also serves on the Steering Committee for the Consumer Goods Litigation Forum.

Prior to joining Clarkson, Bahar was a litigation associate at a personal injury firm, where she was involved in all stages of litigation. She worked relentlessly to achieve justice for her clients, helping recover millions of dollars on their behalf, with a particular focus on representing minors injured in accidents.

Bahar earned her J.D. from Southwestern Law School in 2012, where she was a member of the Journal of International Law and The Children’s Rights Clinic. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Bahar is fluent in Farsi.

For fun, Bahar enjoys trying out new restaurants and bars, as well as beating her friends and family at ping pong.
