The speed of the electronic world shows no sign
of slowing and clients need fast-thinking and fast-
acting lawyers. We speak the client’s language,
bringing strong technical backgrounds and practi-
cal experience to the table. Many of our lawyers are
recognized thought leaders in IT-related issues as
privacy, encryption compliance, computer security
and disaster recovery issues. It is our understand-
ing of and dedication to the industry which leads
to our involvement in many of Israel’s largest and
most sophisticated IT deals.
Environment
A growing number of environmental regulations
with which to comply has created numerous hur-
dles for clients. Our long track record and strong
relationships with industry leaders and key regu-
lators have been central to our success in guiding
clients through this environmental minefield.
We have helped to influence and shape the law,
whether it affects hazardous or paper waste, con-
taminated water or clean air.

international)

we are there to advise industry leaders and
start-ups, domestic clients abroad and foreign
companies in Israel on all of their commercial

ment stages to financing and themost complex exit
and M&A transactions. We are regularly involved
in a number of cutting-edge industries including
pharmaceutical, high-tech, retail, energy, renew-
able energy, telecommunications, biotechnology,
food and beverage and many more. For example,

ing the Japanese giant’s entry into Israel.

tender or are trying to challenge the results of one
before the Supreme Court, tender and administra-
tive law is a key pillar of strength at the firm. Our
pool of talented lawyers bring considerable experi-
ence of advising on tenders in the broadcasting,
telecommunications, and IT fields. On the national
stage, we have been involved in the preparation of
successful bids for a major commercial TV broad-
casting license and a nationwidemobile telephony
license.

ever before. We are regularly involved in the legis-
lative process in a large number of areas, drafting
