Noteworthy Achievements

The most meaningful accomplishment of Avner Zinger and his team is their ability to achieve for their clients’ full legal protection and rights.
Furthermore, Avner Zinger was active in implementing a historical amendment in the Spouses’ Property Relations Law (no. 4), a law that was legislated in 1973 and has never been updated, leading to impaired legal consequences.
This amendment, which changed the nature of the law, was initiated by joint activity of Knesset Members and the Bar Association, and the involvement, as mentioned, of Avner Zinger as a representative of the Bar Association in the Knesset Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee. The amendment permits the couple to balance assets before the validation of divorce, severing the link between divorces and assigning rights over the common property.
