Your Legal Partner in Israel

Choosing the form the business will take in Israel, registering it, putting governance in place, and dealing with the filings and approvals the activity attracts. Covered in full under Doing Business in Israel.

A company on the register is half of a presence; the other half is a bank that will hold its money. Account opening runs alongside incorporation, and the documents the bank will ask for are prepared at the same time as the constitutional ones. See Corporate & Commercial and Banking, Payments & Financial Compliance.

Licences and permits, the requirements that attach to a particular activity, administrative proceedings, and challenges to decisions already taken. See Regulation & Government Authorities.

Transfers into and out of Israel, the anti-money-laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) work that has to be done before one is sent, and what to do when a transfer is delayed, refused or frozen. We prepare the legal and commercial framework the bank requires and represent the client through the review. We do not promise that an account will be opened or that a transfer will be approved. See Banking, Payments & Financial Compliance.

Supply, service, distribution and agency arrangements, joint ventures, and shareholder and founder agreements — drafted to work under Israeli law and to be intelligible to a counterparty who has never dealt with it. See Corporate & Commercial.

Commercial claims, contract and shareholder disputes, debt recovery and enforcement proceedings, and urgent applications. We appear for foreign parties before the Israeli courts and tribunals, and act in the enforcement of foreign judgments. See Dispute Resolution & Litigation.

Israeli employment contracts and compliance for an international employer, work permits for foreign experts, and the relocation of executives and their families. See Employment & Corporate Immigration and Private Clients & Global Mobility.

Purchase and sale of Israeli property by foreign buyers and investors, due diligence, registration of rights, and the payment and financing coordination a purchase from abroad requires. See Real Estate & Investments.

Accountants, tax advisers, banks and other professionals whose part of the matter has to fit with ours. Where a client has no one in Israel, we can point them to professionals who are used to international clients; where the client has advisers already, we work to them. See all practice areas.

Files run by email and video call. Correspondence, documents and reporting are in English — Hebrew and Russian are also working languages of the firm — and the appearances in Israel are made by us.
