Renowned for shaping and driving new sectors

Herzog is ahead of the curve in meeting new challenges posed by technological advances and disruptive emerging industries, developing specialist practice areas, shaping them, driving them forward, and delivering the results clients expect, often in unchartered territory.  Among a number of these new sector-oriented departments, the first of their kind in Israel, are: Cryptocurrency, Crisis Management, Fintech, Urban Renewal, Impact Investment, Insurance-Tech and more.

In recognition of the booming Israeli technology community in the Bay Area, Herzog is also the first Israeli law firm to establish a Silicon Valley representative office. This provides Herzog with a direct, real-time line of communication between our Tel Aviv office and the wider Silicon Valley community.

In keeping with the firm’s global perspective, the majority of Herzog’s business is conducted in English but our team’s languages also include German, French, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Korean, Portuguese and Arabic.

Sharing their aspirations, we provide our clients with innovative advice that empowers them to move forward with confidence.
