Zeltzer & Co. - Law Firm

A Legacy of Excellence and Legal Leadership
Founded in 1969 by the late Dr. Pinchas Zeltzer (Adv.), Zeltzer & Co. Law Firm has served as a cornerstone of the Israeli tort law landscape for over five decades. Since its inception, the firm has established itself as a premier boutique firm, enjoying an unparalleled reputation and prestige within the Israeli legal community.
The firm specializes in handling the most intricate and complex cases in the field of torts, including catastrophic motor vehicle accidents, negligence claims, and medical malpractice. For over half a century, the firm maintains a highly specialized practice, focusing solely on the representation of plaintiffs in catastrophic injury cases, including those with 100% disability, traumatic brain injuries, paralysis (quadriplegia and paraplegia), and ventilator-dependent patients.
Over decades of practice, the firm has established numerous landmark legal precedents and secured record-breaking compensation and settlements for its clients. Our work is driven by a profound commitment to restorative justice and to safeguarding the financial future of those affected by negligence and severe accidents.

Personal Attention as a Supreme Value

At the Forefront of the Legal Battle: October 7^th

Zeltzer & Co. Law Firm is proud to lead the legal struggle on behalf of the victims of the October 7th terror attacks. Over the past several months, our firm has been leading a landmark, large-scale lawsuit, representing numerous survivors of the “Nova” music festival and the families of those murdered.
Alongside the tort proceedings, the firm is vigorously pursuing punitive damages claims against the Palestinian Authority under the Compensation for Victims of Terrorism Law (exemplary damages).

Groundbreaking Legal Achievements

As leaders in the field of Tort law for decades, the firm is credited with legal precedents that have become cornerstones of Israeli jurisprudence and are taught as core curriculum in law faculties. Our legal work transcends the boundaries of the specific case, shaping the rights of all personal injury victims in Israel.
Our track record includes landmark rulings, such as establishing the right to home-based rehabilitation over institutionalization (even for solitary victims), securing compensation based on the high costs of local Israeli nursing care and the formative ruling establishing that reliance on “customary medical practice” does not exempt a party from tort liability.
The firm’s portfolio includes some of Israel’s most high-profile cases with significant public resonance and extensive media coverage, such as the Maccabiah Bridge Disaster, the Munich 11 Olympic Victims and complex medical malpractice and motor vehicle accident cases in which compensation amounting to millions of NIS was awarded to our clients.

Creative Strategy in a Dynamic Legal World

In a field as dynamic as tort law, profound legal knowledge is merely the starting point. Our firm’s uniqueness lies in our cognitive creativity and the ability to see beyond the surface. We excel at analyzing every case with surgical precision, weaving every detail into a comprehensive strategic vision. This approach, combining “out of the box” thinking with deep legal insight, allows us to craft optimal, tailor-made solutions for each client, ensuring the best possible outcome.
