Advocating for Homeowners

The Partners

Adv. Ilan Shlomovitz, Founding Partner, began his professional life as an educator, before moving into law, where he first specialized in family law and marital status, and then in urban renewal. As well as proposing innovative and creative urban renewal solutions, he positioned his firm to understand the true needs of its clients, who are at the heart of the process, giving them an attentive ear at every stage. He has an LLB from the College of Management, and also serves as a mediator and arbitrator.

Yaron also specializes in resolving crises in projects at advanced stages and structuring complex real estate transactions.
Yaron currently heads the firm’s “Project Rescue” Department, which handles projects previously managed by other attorneys, most commonly urban renewal transactions that have already been signed with a developer who has breached its contractual obligations. The department’s purpose is to structure a new transaction while providing maximum legal protection to apartment owners who entered into agreements with the defaulting developer, including indemnification undertakings and safeguards to protect the apartment owners by the replacement developer.

Mentors and Guides

A collegial and respectful relationship between partners characterizes the firm and infuses its relationships with its clients. Rather than functioning as a contracted expert, the firm sees itself as a close, dedicated mentor, guiding clients along the entire length of their path. In addition to the urban renewal and real estate fields, the firm maintains a family law department, which provides holistic services for common legal matters.

The firm’s reputation as an expert in urban renewal has grown consistently over the years. It represents and has represented hundreds of homeowners whose renewal projects have stalled or come to a complete standstill before construction even began. With its unique expertise in this area, our team gives its client an attentive ear, security, professional service and minimal risks, supporting them through to completion.
