Describe a recent meaningful move led by you.

Describe the firm's strongest attributes.
A Humane and moral attitude to all of the parties involved in a lawsuit. Compassion and integrity serve the entire profession in the long term. Warm personal relationships with senior experts who are some of Israel’s best doctors; and a legal team that is commitment to the client’s success and to achieving the ultimate goal – changing the medical perception in order to save lives.
Describe the firm's recent key moves that will lead to it becoming stronger over the next few years.
Naturally, after many years in the medical malpractice and insurance fields, many of the lawsuits we handle are significant and receive extensive media coverage. This fact, along with professionalism and knowledge on how to set the goals and achieve them through deep legal understanding, lead both to success and to, hopefully, a change of perception for hospitals and doctors, as well as insurance companies, which know that it’s not only the judge who reviews the case, but also the media.
What are the main challenges facing the firm in the next few years?
To change the awareness of the conduct in the medical field, while introducing the value of transparency for enabling learning that could prevent the next medical malpractice case.
Tip for up and coming executives?
Patience, patience and then some more patience.
Tips to remember through hardships?
Only persistence would lead to success.
