Shaya Gorkin

Founding Partner

As head of Ainsworth Gorkin’s litigation department, I handle complex commercial and civil litigation matters for both corporations and individuals.

I specialize in property disputes, breach of contract, as well as other business conflicts such as contentious and messy partnership disputes and disputes surrounding all aspects of business relationships and transactions. Other key focuses of my practice include alternative finance, factoring businesses, and judgment enforcement. 

Before and during my time in law school, I worked for a top-tier lawyer who litigated on behalf of high-profile clients and handled billion-dollar settlements. It gave me the kind of experience most lawyers don’t get until years into practice and kindled my love for litigation, which I’m passionate about until today. 

When I’m not knee-deep in litigation, you can usually find me spending quality time with my wife and playing board games with my daughters. My kids usually win, which is humbling but also makes me proud! That’s dad life for ya.

About Ainsworth Gorkin

Ainsworth Gorkin was founded in 2019 by Levi Ainsworth and Shaya Gorkin with a clear goal: to put clients first. After working at a traditional law firm, they saw the need for a more honest and respectful approach to legal work. They started small, stayed focused, and built a boutique firm where every case gets personal attention. Today, their commitment to transparency, care, and results continues to shape everything the firm does.
