Specializing in Urban Renewal

Our firm provides the owners with comprehensive legal counsel, assistance and representation – starting from the organization stage, through finding and selecting the developer and advisros on behalf of the owners, and up to the completion of the project.
Since its establishment in 2011, the firm has elected to represent only owners of rights rather than developers, and has accumulated extensive experience in this field. This fact strengthens the connection with our clients and builds the trust which is crucial for a client-attorney relationship, particularly in a transaction which is so sensitive for their properties.
The firm’s partner’s extensive experience and familiarity provides them with a considerable advantage in representing and understanding the various interests of the parties, with a deep understanding of the proper way to promote urban renewal on behalf of the owners in order to maximize their rights in the contract with the developer. One of the firm’s distinctions is in its ability to separate the wheat from the chaff on the one hand while insisting on signing and complying with the important legal and commercial terms on the other hand, in a way that clearly promotes the project’s promotion and successful completion.

An ”Umbrella” of Services for the Owners in the Projects

Our firm offers our clients the full umbrella of services that they require in the framework of promoting the project, such as: representation in sale transactions in a way that protects their rights in the project, applications for probate and inheritance orders, appointment of guardians, completing the registration in the Land Registrar, and legal counsel.
