When to call us

When your matter reaches Israel.

01

Litigation in Israel

Your client is facing or considering proceedings before an Israeli court.

02

Urgent Court Relief

An injunction, interim order or other time-sensitive application is required.

03

Competition & Commercial Disputes

The matter involves competition law, distribution, franchise, shareholder or complex commercial issues.

04

Enforcement & Procedure

A judgment, legal obligation, evidence issue or procedural workstream requires action in Israel.

Counsel-to-counsel

A defined Israeli workstream.

01

Understand the Matter

Identify the Israeli-law, procedural and strategic issues.

02

Define the Workstream

Agree with lead counsel on scope, responsibility, reporting and budget.

03

Execute in Israel

Handle the Israeli component while maintaining clear communication with the international team.

04

Protect the Relationship

The international firm can remain the client's primary strategic relationship.

A focused litigation practice.

Direct handling

Matters are handled directly by the lawyer responsible for the engagement.

Responsive

Direct communication and the ability to move quickly when Israeli proceedings demand it.

Focused

A litigation-centered practice without unnecessary layers of staffing.

Commercial

Legal strategy that considers the economics and business reality of the dispute.

Conflict flexibility

A focused boutique structure may offer an alternative where larger firms face conflicts or structural constraints. No absence of conflict is promised; every matter is checked.

Fit

When this model is — and is not — the right fit.

The practice is designed for disputes and Israeli-law workstreams where direct lawyer involvement, clear reporting and focused execution matter. It can work as Israeli counsel alongside an international firm or as direct litigation counsel for the Israeli proceeding.

It may not be the right fit for matters that require a large multi-office staffing platform, non-litigation work far outside the firm's core practice, or any engagement where a conflict prevents involvement.
