MM~LAW formed the Iraq War Fund by building a team of seven national law firms dedicated to assisting those affected by acts of Iranian-sponsored terrorism in researching, investigating Iranian sponsored terrorism in Iraq, and preparing & litigating claims against the state actor and banks and others that conspired with and/or provided material assistance and financial services to Iran and the terrorists.

MM~LAW LLC is an award-winning law firm that represents victims of terrorism, genocide, torture, and human trafficking in private, mass-tort lawsuits against the financiers and profiteers who aide and abet perpetrators of such crimes.

MM~LAW particularly focuses on confronting the international financial infrastructure that assists terrorist organizations connected with global jihad.

Trial Lawyer of the Year

In 2016, Gavriel Mairone, founder of MM-LAW, won Trial Lawyer of the Year by The Public Justice Foundation for his work in the case Linde v. Arab Bank. In this case, MM-LAW represented 117 victims who were killed or injured in suicide bombings in Israel and 440 family members of those injured or killed in the attacks.

The plaintiffs claimed that Arab Bank knowingly provided financial support to terrorist leaders and the families of terrorist operatives, including suicide bombers. This case marks the first time that a financial institution has been brought to trial — and held liable — under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Legislative Achievements

Gavi co-authored the draft Bill which became the United States Victims of State Sponsors of Terrorism Act, and led the successful lobbying which created the USVSST Fund. In the first 3 years of its 10-year life, the Fund has distributed over $3.25 billion to U.S. victims of state-sponsored terrorism. Gavi also authored/proposed and led the lobbying for the Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act of 2018, which clarified that attacks against the U.S. by terrorist organizations are "acts of international terrorism" under the Anti-Terrorism Act and not "acts of war" for which vets and gold star families would have no civil remedies against the perpetrators and their supporters. The Clarification Act passed with unanimous consent in both the Senate and the House.

Gavriel Mairone has been selected as a member of the 100 top trial lawyers by The National Trial Lawyers.
