Who we are
Amparo Law Firm PLLC is a New York-based plaintiff’s firm with three practice areas: construction accident representation, auto accident personal injury, and shareholder advocacy. The shareholder practice — Amparo Investor Rights — operates nationally from the firm’s principal office at 40 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005.
The firm was founded on a single conviction: that the most consequential plaintiff’s work demands the same craft and discipline that the institutional defense bar brings to its work. Most plaintiff’s firms in this space are volume operations. We are built differently. We file fewer cases, we file them cleaner, and we hold the work to a federal-court standard from the first complaint to the final filing.
That philosophy comes from how the firm was assembled. Our managing partner clerked on a U.S. Court of Appeals before he ever filed a complaint. Our chief operating officer was the chief economist of the New York State Department of Financial Services before he ran a real estate development firm. The two principals between them have spent more time inside regulators, on the bench-side of the courtroom, and inside the institutional clients we now litigate against than most plaintiff’s firms have years in business.
Who we represent
We represent shareholders harmed by corporate misconduct, regardless of holding size. That includes:
● Individual retail investors who held shares during a misrepresentation period
● Institutional investors — pension funds, endowments, family offices, hedge funds — assessing
their fitness to serve as lead plaintiff in a class action
● Long-term shareholders considering derivative claims on behalf of the corporation
● Beneficial holders considering merger objection claims under §14(a) of the Exchange Act
● Shareholders pursuing books-and-records demands under DGCL §220 or state equivalents
We do not represent corporate defendants. We do not represent issuers, directors, or officers. The
shareholder side is the only side this practice operates on.
Who runs the firm
Bob Amirian, Esq.
Founding & Managing Attorney
“Plaintiff’s work, done with the discipline of attorneys who learned to write for federal judges.”
Bob clerked for Chief Judge Sharon Prost on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and trained at Venable LLP, an AmLaw 100 firm.

Our approach
01
We treat shareholder cases as federal-court cases.
Securities cases are federal court cases. The PSLRA imposes a heightened pleading standard; the Federal Rules govern discovery; federal motion practice is the discipline. Bob’s federal appellate clerkship, his time at Venable LLP, and his admission to multiple federal districts mean we approach this practice from inside the federal system, not at its margins.
02
We investigate before we file.
03
We work on contingency.
There is no out-of-pocket cost to clients in our shareholder cases. We advance all litigation expenses. Fees come out of any recovery, on terms set out in a written retainer agreement that the client reviews and signs before any work begins.
04
We talk to clients directly.
Amparo is structured to keep clients in direct contact with the lawyer handling their matter. There are no layers of intake staff between a shareholder and the attorney working their case — not a paralegal, not a screener, not a referral office.
