“As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.”
- John Stuart Mill
Since October 2000, MM~LAW’s practice has been limited to representing victims of international terrorism, crimes against humanity, genocide, torture and human trafficking, in civil lawsuits, on a contingency basis, against the financial and support networks of the perpetrators, including international banks, oil companies, illegal arms dealers and state sponsors of terrorism. Based in Chicago, MM~LAW maintains affiliate offices in Africa and the Middle East.
MM~LAW currently represents over 19,000 victims (including over 3,000 U.S. veterans and Gold Star families), from 26 countries. Together with its network of co-counsel law firms, we are litigating lawsuits on behalf of our clients in Washington D.C., New York, Israel, France, Kenya, and Iraq.
MM~LAW continues to actively pursue enforcement and collection of the more than $20 billion judgments already obtained against state sponsors of terrorism, international banks and other multinational corporations, and has successfully recovered for clients over $1.8 billion to date.
MM~LAW founder Gavriel Mairone, a pioneer in the practice of counter-terrorism law, was awarded Trial Lawyer of the Year – 2016 by Public Justice Foundation and recognized by the National Trial Lawyers Association as a Top 100 Trial Lawyer and Top 25 Mass-Tort Lawyer.
