David File & Co. – Law Office

David File & Co. is a law firm with over 25 years of experience at the forefront of legal advocacy for victims of personal injury and medical malpractice in Israel. It is recognized as the largest firm in Israel in the fields of medical malpractice, nursing care, and insurance, with a proven track record of securing creative legal outcomes and maximum financial compensation for its clients. The firm is consistently ranked among the leading practices in medical malpractice, tort law, and insurance.

The firm is guided by a clear social and combative legal philosophy, representing exclusively private plaintiffs against the most powerful institutions in the economy. It does not represent hospitals, medical institutions, or insurance companies, maintaining a deliberate focus on standing at the side of individuals facing large and well-resourced entities.

David File & Co. combines legal strength, decades of experience, and human sensitivity. It provides a full legal framework for individuals harmed by medical negligence or tortious conduct—from gathering medical documentation, through expert opinions, to determined courtroom representation—with the goal of achieving the highest possible compensation for its clients.

The firm was founded and is led by Adv. David File, who brings over 25 years of experience in medical malpractice and tort law. He is a widely recognized authority in the field and frequently appears in Israeli media to analyze complex malpractice cases. He is supported by a team of more than 50 attorneys with extensive cumulative experience and a strong record in complex litigation. Each case is handled with the support of leading medical and insurance consultants, ensuring that all medical aspects are thoroughly examined and strategically addressed.

A core strength of the firm lies in the training and development of its legal team. Attorneys undergo continuous professional training with a strong focus on medical knowledge. The firm also emphasizes internal advancement, with many lawyers having begun their careers there as interns. Combined with the team’s diverse background—including attorneys who previously represented insurance companies and defendants—this provides deep insight into opposing strategies and strengthens case preparation.
The firm’s results are reflected in significant outcomes, having secured over ILS 230 million in compensation for clients in the past year alone. It handles hundreds of cases annually across Israel.
David File & Co. operates three offices nationwide: its headquarters in Ramat Gan, with additional branches in Be’er Sheva and Nazareth. The firm provides accessible legal services across the country, including home visits for clients in sensitive conditions and initial consultations without obligation, alongside continuous support throughout the legal process.
