It happens because someone is willing to outwork, outthink, and outlast the other side,\u201d says Mark Shirian, founder of Mark Shirian, P.C.<\/p>\n<p>For the past decade, Shirian has built a firm designed for exactly that purpose. Mark Shirian P.C. was structured to confront institutions that believe they are too powerful, too insulated, or too well funded to be held accountable.<\/p>\n<p>That determined and aggressive attitude has driven Shirian to become a recognized powerhouse attorney in personal injury and employment law.

His approach is methodical. Identify statutory leverage. Evaluate institutional exposure. Apply pressure early.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLarge defendants rely on delay, complexity, and intimidation,\u201d he explains. \u201cWe counter with precision. As a boutique firm, we do not have bureaucracy. We can pivot faster, litigate leaner, and apply pressure where it matters most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The firm supplements its core team with a network of litigation specialists, forensic experts, and trial consultants when cases demand it, scaling deliberately rather than permanently. This allows the firm to remain agile while still handling technically complex and resource intensive litigation.<\/p>\n<p>The firm represents the catastrophically injured victim of the 2022 Brooklyn subway shooting in which a Glock pistol was used. When the firm was approached by the victim, they determined the MTA lacked liability but identified other paths to justice. Shirian brought a claim against the manufacturer pursuant to General Business Law Section 898, which al-lows victims of gun violence to sue gun manufacturers for negligent marketing and distribution. The case is in federal court.<\/p>\n<p>The Second Circuit, in <em>National Shooting Sports Foundation, Inc.<\/em> v. James, upheld the constitutionality of Section 898, rejecting the gun industry\u2019s challenge that the law violates the dormant Commerce Clause. The July 2025 ruling affirmed the lower court\u2019s decision that the law is constitutional. Shirian is optimistic about the ultimate outcome and is preparing for a possible Supreme Court case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis case represents everything we do: finding creative legal pathways when others see dead ends,\u201d Shirian says. \u201cSection 898 is a powerful tool, and the Second Circuit has already confirmed that New York has the right to hold gun businesses accountable for failing to prevent their products from being used unlawfully. We\u2019re prepared to litigate this at every level\u2014including the Supreme Court if that\u2019s what it takes\u2014to get justice for our client.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In another case, a woman\u2019s husband was shot on the subway. The case alleges an MTA employee took a photograph of him lying in a pool of blood, which was then disseminated on social media, causing their client extreme emotional harm. The firm is suing the MTA for civil rights abuse and is confident of a successful outcome.<\/p>\n<p>In another case, the firm represents the estate and family of a father, who was shot and killed during a drive-by shooting at a funeral in the Bronx. An NYPD detective had repeatedly promised the family that police presence and protection would be provided at the funeral \u2014 assurances the family relied on. On the second day of the funeral, no officers were present. A vehicle drove by and opened fire, killing one man and injuring another attendee.<\/p>\n<p>The firm is pursuing claims against the detective, the City of New York, and the NYPD, arguing that the department\u2019s affirmative promises created a special relationship and lulled the family into a false sense of security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen a family is told by the police that they will be protected, and they rely on that promise, and then no one shows up \u2014 that is not just a failure. That is a betrayal,\u201d Shirian says. \u201cA man was killed at his cousin\u2019s funeral while his wife and children stood feet away. We are holding the city accountable for the promises its officers made and broke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shirian recalls sitting with the family after the shooting. \u201cHis wife told me she trusted the police when they said they would be there. She brought her children to that funeral believing they were safe. That is when you understand your job is not just legal. It is human. You are carrying someone else\u2019s loss into a courtroom and asking 12 strangers to care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though the matters vary from catastrophic injury to institutional abuse, each case shares a common theme. Institutional accountability. \u201cWe are not chasing volume,\u201d Shirian says. \u201cWe take cases where power imbalance is the core issue. Where a corporation, agency, or institution believed it would not be challenged.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-600c772a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"600c772a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7b960171\" data-id=\"7b960171\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a345ae9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a345ae9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\nHolding Them Accountable in<br \/>\nthe Workplace<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67e015af elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67e015af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Shirian\u2019s firm also focuses on Labor Law 240, known as the scaffold law, representing workers against property owners and contractors who endanger the health and safety of their employees by cutting corners on safety. The firm is also aggressive in representing victims of corporate displacement, sexual harassment, and age discrimination, earning multiple six- and seven-figure settlements for their clients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSexual harassment in the workplace is rampant, and for too long, powerful institutions have protected perpetrators while silencing victims. We\u2019ve sued major corporations, universities, and government agencies that thought they were untouchable. When someone comes to us with a harassment claim, we don\u2019t negotiate softly,\u201d Shirian says. \u201cWe pursue accountability at every level, individual and institutional. These cases are not only about compensation. They are about transparency and structural change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The term \u201cworkplace\u201d also refers to schools. Shirian has created a niche representing former athletes against their universities or sports programs. One of the firm\u2019s more prominent cases involved a suit against SUNY Binghamton University on behalf of a former wrestler who had been abused by his coach. They are also handling a hazing case against Seton Hall Baseball. The client was a 17-year-old pitcher when he entered the university, where he was exposed to sexual hazing and violence. Because of the suit, the coach was forced to step down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have seen a rise in these types of cases. I think in part because more young people in college feel empowered to come forward knowing that there\u2019s someone on their side\u2014someone with the resources and willingness to take on a huge educational institution. That\u2019s us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-44e51780\" data-id=\"44e51780\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a8b25a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4a8b25a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Mark_Shirian_Shot_03_094-683x1024.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-196326\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b4fb11 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b4fb11\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-aa44ded\" data-id=\"aa44ded\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59c1f348 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"59c1f348\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Reopening the Doors to Justice: The NYC Look-Back Window<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42938cde elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"42938cde\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Shirian\u2019s commitment to serving survivors extends to his firm\u2019s aggressive pursuit of justice under New York City\u2019s reopened Gender-Motivated Violence Act (GMVA) look-back window. In January 2026, the NYC Council overrode Mayor Adams\u2019 veto to pass Introduction 1297-A, reopening an 18-month window for survivors of sexual assault and abuse to file civil lawsuits that would otherwise be permanently time-barred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis law is a game changer. It fixes a legal loophole that dismissed over 450 lawsuits\u2014many involving abuse in city-run juvenile detention centers dating back to the 1960s. The original language didn\u2019t clearly allow survivors to sue institutions, only individuals. Now that\u2019s fixed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The look-back window has no floor date, meaning claims can reach back 30, 40, even 50 years. Acts from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s all qualify, as long as the abuse occurred in one of New York City\u2019s five boroughs on or before January 9, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re already hearing from survivors who thought they\u2019d never get their day in court. People who were told it happened too long ago, or that they didn\u2019t have enough proof. This window gives them a second chance, and we\u2019re not going to let it close without fighting for every single person who qualifies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shirian\u2019s experience with look-back windows is well-established. His firm recently secured a $1.5 million settlement for a 74-year-old victim of childhood abuse that occurred in 1958, leveraging the Child Victims Act look-back window. In that case, Shirian demonstrated that the city had withheld elementary school records and filed a successful sanctions motion that led to the substantial settlement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook-back windows require a different kind of litigation strategy. You\u2019re dealing with decades-old cases, missing evidence, and institutions that thought they were protected by the statute of limitations. But we know how to build these cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shirian believes the reopened window will redefine institutional accountability in New York City. \u201cThis is not just about individual lawsuits,\u201d he says. \u201cIt is about forcing transparency in systems that operated in the shadows for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His firm is actively preparing filings ahead of the March 1, 2026 opening date, anticipating significant litigation involving schools, city agencies, and youth institutions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-77da9e11 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"77da9e11\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2da39ca1\" data-id=\"2da39ca1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41ba6917 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"41ba6917\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"223\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/6-Pages-%E2%80%93-1-1-1024x223.png?resize=1024%2C223&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-196327\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-660b6e9c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"660b6e9c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4827e8b9\" data-id=\"4827e8b9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e0ad980 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3e0ad980\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Creating the 14\/7 Litigation Engine<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43878b51 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43878b51\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Shirian says one of the firm\u2019s edges over the competition is its ability to work while other attorneys are sleeping. They use a 14\/7 global talent model to handle case review, discovery, transcript analysis, and research overnight. That compressed litigation timeline allows the firm to identify leverage earlier in a case, often increasing settlement pressure long before defendants expect it. Speed, Shirian believes, is a strategic weapon.<\/p>\n<p>The firm also integrates hybrid intelligence, using advanced AI tools to analyze transcripts, identify inconsistencies, and surface patterns across thousands of pages of discovery in minutes rather than weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI does not replace judgment,\u201d Shirian says. \u201cIt amplifies it.

His <em>Millennial Lawyer Podcast<\/em> has become a resource for young lawyers questioning whether the traditional Big Law or Big Government route is their only option.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started the podcast because I wished someone had told me earlier in my career that you don\u2019t need to follow the traditional path to be successful. You can take the cases that scare you a little. Don\u2019t wait for permission. File the lawsuit. Make the argument. Trust your instincts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The podcast features candid conversations with attorneys who\u2019ve built thriving practices outside traditional structures, covering everything from case selection and client development to the realities of running a lean, aggressive firm.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-abdfeb3\" data-id=\"abdfeb3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99afbba elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"99afbba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"794\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Mark-Shirian-794x1024.jpg?resize=794%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-196322\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-78e0f57 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"78e0f57\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-206c782\" data-id=\"206c782\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5cbcd5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f5cbcd5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Referrals \u2013 A True Partnership<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-474c352 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"474c352\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Roughly half of the firm\u2019s caseload comes through referrals from other attorneys who recognize when a matter requires deeper litigation infrastructure. Shirian regularly partners with firms on catastrophic injury, institutional abuse, civil rights, and complex employment cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome cases demand trial readiness from day one,\u201d he says. \u201cWe bring the litigation engine, the research capacity, and the willingness to take it to verdict if necessary. When firms refer cases to us, they remain partners in the process. Our goal is aligned. Maximize recovery and build precedent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe build real relationships with our clients,\u201d Shirian says. \u201cThey trust us with the most important legal battles of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shirian believes the firm\u2019s ability to look at cases differently gives it an edge. They have secured up to seven figures on cases passed over by multiple firms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrowth for me isn\u2019t necessarily about headcount. It\u2019s about impact. Bigger cases, bigger recoveries, and bigger precedents. I\u2019m not trying to be the biggest firm. I\u2019m trying to be the firm defendants don\u2019t want to see on the other side of the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a decade of litigating against corporations, government agencies, and institutions that assumed they would never face accountability, Shirian has built more than a personal injury practice. He has built a firm structured for impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrowth is not about headcount,\u201d he says. \u201cIt is about influence. Bigger cases. Stronger precedents. Structural change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an era where many firms chase volume, Mark Shirian P.C. has chosen a different path, designing a boutique litigation model built to confront power directly and systematically.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a case matters,\u201d Shirian says, \u201cwe are prepared to see it through.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element
