The Partners: A Combination of Academic Excellence and Public Experience

Adv. Sharon Galili, Partner
Adv. Galili heads the firm and leads its legal strategy. Admitted to the Bar in 2001, he holds a B.A. in Government and Diplomacy from Reichman University (from its inaugural class under the late Prof. Ohad Sprinzak), as well as LL.B. and LL.M. degrees.
He completed his LL.B. at the University of Hertfordshire in London and his LL.M. at Reichman University, where he also developed a doctoral thesis in the field of defamation law under the supervision of former President of the Supreme Court, Prof. Aharon Barak.
Adv. Galili brings extensive public-sector experience: he has served as Chairman of several Planning and Zoning Committees, including “Galil Merkaz” and “Mitzpe Afek,” as well as those of Savyon and Be’er Ya’akov; Chairman of the Appeals Committee for Highway 6; and currently serves as Chairman of the “Moradot HaCarmel” Regional Planning and Zoning Committee.
He also previously served as a board member of Mifal HaPais and “HaIggud,” a government company operating as the executive arm of MASHAV (Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
His extensive public-sector background provides him with deep insight into the nuances of planning and zoning enforcement within local authorities, including how prosecution files are prepared and how inspection departments operate. This knowledge gives him a significant advantage as a private defense attorney in such cases.
