Yossy Haezrachy Law Firm

Yossy Haezrachy Law Firm is a leading boutique litigation firm specializing in complex, large-scale commercial disputes, including matters with high media attention. The firm also specializes in class actions, derivative claims, and competition law. Founded in 2015 by Adv. Yossy Haezrachy, the firm has deliberately preserved its boutique character by limiting the number of matters handled at any given time. This approach ensures that every matter receives close personal attention and thorough strategic management while maintaining the highest professional standards.

Managing Large and Complex Cases with Direct Client Engagement

The firm’s strength lies in its ability to provide close client engagement while maintaining an in-depth understanding of every matter handled, as well as the capacity to manage disputes of the scale and complexity characteristic of top-tier law firms. The firm serves top-tier companies and prominent business leaders in Israel and abroad, drawn by its boutique structure and focused approach to each matter.

Boutique Efficiency and Strategic Agility

The vast majority of the firm’s cases are litigated against Israel’s largest law firms, and any attempt to leverage size is met with the efficiency, agility, and responsiveness characteristic of a boutique practice. For large-scale matters, the firm partners with leading law firms in Israel and abroad, while also handling complex international disputes and cross-border commercial litigation, which remains a central pillar of its practice.
