Sparacino PLLC is a high-stakes litigation firm that was founded to help victims of terrorist attacks, human trafficking, and other human rights abuses. Since 2017, our Firm has worked with thousands of American victims to bring anti-terrorism lawsuits on their behalf in U.S. federal courts. Our Firm has also represented numerous trafficking victims, whistleblowers who expose fraud, and plaintiffs and defendants in significant commercial matters. Our Firm believes passionately in holding accountable all those who commit terrorist attacks or engage in serious wrongdoing—whether they be corporations, individuals, or state sponsors of terrorism. We believe our clients’ cases can make it harder for terrorists and wrongdoers to operate, and we have collected millions of dollars in compensation for our clients.
In our anti-terrorism practice, we actively represent over 4,000 Americans—including more than 1,000 Gold Star families—who were injured in terrorist attacks committed by foreign terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, al-Qaeda, and ISIS. On behalf of those victims, our Firm aggressively pursues claims in litigation under the Anti-Terrorism Act, as amended by the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, against the corporations and individuals who choose to do business with terrorists. We also pursue claims against state sponsors of terrorism under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. As Congress has recognized, anti-terrorism lawsuits “serve the national security interests of the United States by deterring the sponsorship of terrorism and by advancing interests of justice, transparency, and accountability.” Sudan Claims Resolution Act (2020).
In our anti-trafficking practice, we represent victims of human trafficking, sex trafficking, forced labor, and similar acts in lawsuits against those who have participated in, and benefitted from, them. We have filed lawsuits under the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act.
In our whistleblower practice, we represent employees, contractors, and other individuals who expose fraud in the financial markets or the government. We represent whistleblowers who wish to report wrongdoing to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and other federal and state agencies. We also litigate claims under the False Claims Act on behalf of those who expose fraud on the government.
In our commercial litigation, investigations, and counseling practices we represent plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes commercial matters, conduct sensitive investigations for companies and individuals in government-facing matters, and counsel companies on compliance and international business operations in high-risk regions.
Our clients include military families, companies large and small, and individuals, including members of the C-suite, high-net-worth individuals, victims of workplace abuse and discrimination, and those who wish to expose wrongdoing by others.
Our team has deep experience with national security issues and high-stakes litigation. Many of our team members have held senior roles at the Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Department of the Treasury, and/or the Securities and Exchange Commission. Most of our lawyers have previously litigated major bet-the-company cases at preeminent law firms, have argued in the U.S. Supreme Court, or have prosecuted high-profile criminals and terrorists. Our other professionals working under the supervision of attorneys include investigators, researchers, and regional specialists with experience in the intelligence community, global investigations firms, and private equity.
