Practice Areas

Real Estate & Urban Renewal
Ben-Yacov Law Firm is one of Israel’s most respected real estate firms, known for representing landowner groups and leading major urban projects. The firm is known for leading highly complex multi-party ventures-often involving dozens or even hundreds of stakeholders-with a unique ability to balance between legal precision, business vision, and development interests. A distinctive area of expertise is the firm’s longstanding specialization in multi-owner real estate projects. This highly complex and sensitive field requires a combination of legal skill, creativity, and broad-based experience, along with a systemic perspective and familiarity with related disciplines such as engineering, valuation, and architecture. Ben-Yacov Law Firm was the first in Israel to represent large groups of landowners in such projects, consistently safeguarding their interests-even when those interests have conflicted with those of court-appointed officials. One of the firm’s most significant and enduring engagements is in HaGush HaGadol-one of Tel Aviv’s largest and most strategic land areas-where it has represented the largest group of right holders for over four decades. This deep and ongoing involvement has positioned the firm at the heart of the project’s evolution, from early land ownership arrangements to advanced planning and execution phases, reflecting its unmatched continuity, trust, and influence in shaping Israel’s urban future. Our signature approach integrates legal acumen with macro-level strategic planning, safeguarding rights while creating value through thoughtful structuring, creative financing, and regulatory navigation. Beyond deal-making, the firm provides ongoing legal and commercial guidance throughout the project life cycle including zoning, planning and permits, architectural and engineering coordination, and investor relations.
From large-scale residential and mixed-use developments to high-value commercial assets and yielding properties, our work has directly shaped Israel’s urban landscape.

Flagship projects include:
• HaGush HaGadol, Tel Aviv (over 40 years of continuous representation) • Kikar HaMedina, Tel Aviv
• Zoning Plan 3700, Tel Aviv • Hof HaTchelet, Herzliya
