Your Israeli legal partner
Most of our clients are not in Israel. They are foreign companies opening a local presence, business owners and executives with an Israeli transaction to complete, investors and family offices holding Israeli assets, and foreign law firms, accountants and tax advisers who need an Israeli correspondent for their own client.
We act as the Israeli side of the file. We prepare what Israeli institutions require, appear before them, and report back in English.

Why this firm
Why ZUBOK & PARTNERS
-
Israeli legal and regulatory expertise
We work inside Israeli law and Israeli institutions every day, not as an occasional foreign matter.
-
Direct involvement of the Managing Partner
Gabriel Zubok is personally on the file. You work with the partner, not with an associate you have never met.
-
Experience with international and cross-border matters
Files that begin in another jurisdiction and have to be completed under Israeli rules.
-
Clear communication in English, Hebrew and Russian
Correspondence, documents and hearings without a translation layer between you and your counsel.
-
Practical coordination with banks, accountants and tax advisers
Israeli matters rarely stay purely legal. We work alongside the professionals who hold the rest of the file.
-
Representation before Israeli courts, banks and government authorities
We appear, in person, where the decision is actually made.

Gabriel Zubok founded the firm and leads it. He personally handles the corporate, banking, regulatory, real estate and immigration work of the firm's international clients, and appears before Israeli courts, banks and government authorities. He works in English, Hebrew and Russian.
