Chuhak & Tecson, P.C. principal Aali Fidai named a “40 Under Forty” Illinois Attorney to Watch by Law Bulletin Media

Chuhak & Tecson, P.C. is pleased to announce that Law Bulletin Media recently recognized the talents and achievements of principal Aali Fidai, naming him to its 2026 list of “40 Under Forty” Illinois Attorneys to Watch.

This designation, awarded to only 40 Illinois attorneys out of over 1,500 nominations, recognizes young lawyers who possess “intelligence, passion, success in the office, a desire to help the community and, most importantly, a willingness to work hard at one of the country’s most important professions.”

Fidai, who focuses his practice on sophisticated commercial real estate transactions, certainly fits that bill, says Bobby Strauss, principal and leader of Chuhak & Tecson’s Real Estate practice group.

“Aali is an exceptional real estate practitioner — he is well-versed in the field, he knows what his clients need and he knows how to get deals done,” Strauss says. “But what makes Aali truly special is his character. You can see how passionate he is about his work and how much he personally invests in his relationships with clients and colleagues alike. It is actually quite inspiring, and we are glad to see him recognized for his accomplishments and success.”

Fidai has built a thriving practice providing experienced counsel for clients on commercial real estate acquisitions, dispositions, development, leasing and financing transactions of all types and complexity. An immigrant, first-generation attorney and father of two who joined the firm in 2022, Fidai also works with clients and lenders to secure favorable, suitable financing arrangements and has significant experience in zoning, permitting and land use matters.

The firm congratulates Fidai on this well-deserved honor.
