Through his work with the Tahirih Justice Center, McGrath has helped numerous women fleeing violence in gaining asylum, representing them at all stages of the immigration process, from BIA Appeals to their individual hearings.

A former educator, McGrath’s work focuses on a range of trade issues including compliance with U.S. economic sanctions, export controls and antiboycott regimes, the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Since joining the firm in 2018, McGrath has had the opportunity to take on significant pro bono projects, representing clients across a variety of practice areas, including immigration proceedings, veterans’ benefits appeals, FOIL litigation, and securing OFAC and BIS licenses for a U.S. non-profit to undertake multi-drug resistant tuberculosis treatment in North Korea.
