Herischi Law is an innovative counsel for complex legal issues, holding wrongdoers accountable around the world.

Herischi Law is a boutique litigation firm dedicated to international human rights, state-sponsored terrorism, and complex civil cases. We find a legal way to hold responsible parties accountable to justice. We represent victims and their families in high-stakes actions against repressive regimes — particularly the Islamic Republic of Iran — using powerful U.S. federal statutes such as the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) terrorism exception, the Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA), the Alien Tort Statute (ATS), and the Anti-Terrorism Act as amended by JASTA. Our practice also encompasses sanctions and OFAC compliance, whistleblower representation under major reward programs, and advocacy for victims of wrongful death, torture, and other serious human rights abuses. With a proven track record of securing multi-million and multi-hundred-million-dollar judgments, we combine aggressive litigation with strategic asset recovery to deliver meaningful justice and accountability for our clients.

Practice Areas

FSIA
Terrorism Exception and Judgment Enforcement

We leverage the FSIA terrorism exception, commercial activity exception, and expropriation exception to hold foreign states accountable and aggressively enforce large judgments against them. 

Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA) and Alien Tort Statute (ATS)

We help victims of torture and extrajudicial killing bring civil claims under the TVPA and ATS against individuals acting under color of foreign law, seeking accountability and compensation for severe human rights abuses.

Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) / Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA)

We pursue treble damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs under the ATA and JASTA for U.S. nationals and their families injured by acts of international terrorism or those who knowingly aid and abet such acts.

Sanctions, OFAC Compliance, and Related Regulatory Matters

We provide expert guidance on U.S. economic sanctions, OFAC compliance, licensing applications, risk assessments, and strategies to locate and enforce judgments against blocked assets of sanctioned entities.

Whistleblower Representation, FinCEN, DOJ, and Rewards for Justice Programs

We confidentially represent whistleblowers seeking substantial financial rewards through FinCEN, DOJ, and the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program for information on terrorism financing, sanctions evasion, and related national security violations.

Human Rights Litigation

We represent victims and their families in claims for wrongful death, severe torture, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance, and other grave human rights violations, using multiple federal statutes to secure justice and meaningful compensation.
