We combine a deep industry insight with a proven track record in media and telecoms and a thorough understanding of the regulatory, technical and commercial environment in which they operate.

High Tech

In a high-speed electronic world, clients need fast-thinking and fast-acting lawyers. Many of our lawyers are recognized as leading in IT-related issues, such as privacy, encryption compliance, computer security and disaster recovery. Due to our IT-understanding, ability to speak the client’s language, strong technical backgrounds, practical experience and dedication, we participate in many of Israel’s largest and most complicated IT deals.

Environment

A growing number of environmental regulations with which to comply has created numerous hurdles for clients. Our long track record and strong relationships with industry leaders and key regulators have been central to our success in guiding clients through this minefield. We have helped to influence and shape the law, whether it affects hazardous or paper waste, contaminated water or clean air.

We are regularly involved in cutting-edge industries, including pharmaceutical, high-tech, retail, energy, renewable energy, telecommunications, biotechnology, food and beverage, etc. E.g., we recently represented Keshet Broadcasting in purchasing the “news operation” company from “Reshet”- a unique transaction in the Israeli communications industry, as well as the Central Bottling Company group in purchasing the listed South-Africa-based Clover Industries Ltd.
