In November 2000, MM~LAW established the first legal counterterrorism defense law practice to assist victims of terrorism.

The primary goal is to force the financiers of terrorism to compensate their victims.

Our approach is based upon the following multi-pronged strategy:

1. Legal representation of clients on a strict, contingent success-fee basis without upfront charge to clients;
2. Find the money trail and map the terrorist organizations;
3. Develop admissible evidence linking the financiers to the terrorists;
4. Enter into strategic partnerships with top-tier litigation law firms in target jurisdictions;
5. Initiate litigation against the terrorist financiers and financial networks.

In order to implement this strategy we created the following team:

1. Terror-finance research task force;
2. Client support team;
3. Legal research and liaison group.

We named this team the Global Justice Group, a group dedicated to obtaining some measure of individual justice for the victims of global jihad, genocide and crimes against humanity. The research task force is dedicated to researching the finance networks enabling and supporting international jihadist terrorist organizations. Our research is conducted primarily in Arabic and Farsi, but also in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, Hebrew and German. We have built a database of over one half million documents from various sources of information. The research is “operational research” meaning supervised by attorneys specifically for the purpose of discovering and developing evidence admissible in courts of law, our “theater of operations,” in order to bring lawsuits against the terrorist financial and support networks. Most researchers have 3 or more years experience in Israeli military intelligence and academic degrees in Middle Eastern Studies, Islamic Studies or Arabic Literature.

Our sources of information include:

• Discovery obtained in various lawsuits and judicial proceedings.
• Evidence introduced in criminal and civil terrorism trials in US, Israel, UK, Spain, Germany, Argentina, France and other countries.
• Newspapers and media reports in Arabic, Farsi and other languages.
• Websites sponsored by terrorist organizations.
• Documents seized by the US Army in Iraq and Afghanistan.
• Documents seized by the Israel Defense Forces in Palestinian Authority territory.
• Official publications of US Department of Justice, Defense, State, Congress, CIA.
• Official publications of Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
• Official publication of European and South American governments.
• Documents obtained from various other governments.
• Documents obtained from UN archives.
• Radical Islamic websites and chat rooms.
• Materials obtained in cooperation with investigative reporters and think tanks.
• Other sources.

MM~LAW currently represents over 6700 victims from over 300 terrorist attacks in Israel, Nairobi Kenya, Dar es Salaam Tanzania and Mumbai, India.

The Client Support Team establishes personal contact with each client and coordinates the collection of all relevant documentation to establish the identity of the client, his/her injury/murder, connection of all family relatives to client decedents, pathology reports, medical records, payroll and earnings reports, and relevant person and family records. In short all documentation necessary to submit as evidence in court. The team also maintains regular communication with each client, submitting progress reports as well as maintaining personal communication. The Client Support Team works closely with various NGOs in a number of countries.
