Herzog Fox & Neeman · Israel

نبذة

Israel is a small economy with a significant global impact. This striking contrast makes Herzog Fox & Neeman the first-choice law firm for international clients entering the Israeli market. Herzog’s lawyers combine deep local market knowledge with service levels that meet the highest international standards. As a true one‑stop shop, the firm’s domestic strength and global expertise have established it as Israel’s leading international law firm. Founded over 50 years ago as a boutique firm dedicated to providing high‑quality legal services for international clients doing business in Israel, Herzog Fox & Neeman has grown into the country’s largest law firm, employing more than 500 lawyers, including over 200 partners. The firm offers expertise across corporate, commercial, and administrative law and serves many of Israel’s—and the world’s—best‑known companies. Its clientele includes private and publicly traded industrial and commercial enterprises, venture capital and investment funds, financial institutions (both local and foreign), hi‑tech companies, government entities, academic institutions, and high-net-worth individuals and families, as well as their offices. Herzog is also a key contact for major law firms worldwide seeking legal support in Israel. A significant portion of Herzog’s work originates abroad and is conducted in English, as well as Chinese, French, Portugeuse, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, German and more. The firm employs over 50 foreign‑born, dual‑qualified lawyers with experience in leading US, UK, and Australian firms. This international character enhances its understanding of global business culture, while its size and the diversity of its over 50 practice areas—each staffed by specialist teams—allow Herzog to deliver comprehensive, integrated legal solutions. Every client is assigned a designated partner as the main point of contact. Thanks to its high‑quality work, commitment to excellence, and keen insight into both the Israeli and global legal landscapes, the firm is widely recognized for providing exceptional legal services. Herzog and its partners consistently receive top‑tier rankings in leading directories such as The Legal 500, Chambers Global, IFLR 1000, BDI, and Dun & Bradstreet. It is the most decorated in accolades among Israeli law firms and has been named Israeli Law Firm of the Year by Mergermarket, IFLR, Lexology Index, and others. - Main Practice Areas Corporate, M&A, Capital Markets, Securities, and Hi‑Tech: Herzog’s corporate practice is one of the largest and most high‑profile in Israel. The group’s foreign‑qualified lawyers work with Israel’s leading corporate experts on cross‑border mergers and acquisitions, securities, and capital markets transactions. The firm has led Israel’s largest M&A and capital markets deals, advising on corporate restructuring, strategic engagements, and international business. Its capital markets and securities team handles public offerings and private placements in Israel, the US, and Europe, representing companies, investors, issuers, and underwriters, and advising major asset management companies. Herzog is also a leader in the hi‑tech sector, assisting venture capital and private equity funds and guiding startups from inception to successful exit. With an office in Silicon Valley—the only Israeli law firm with such a presence—it maintains a direct, real‑time connection with the global technology community. ### Banking and Finance The banking and finance group is regarded as the market leader, representing major global financial institutions and most foreign banks operating in Israel. The team advises on traditional lending, syndications, financial instruments, and derivatives, and serves major investment houses and securities brokers/dealers. Its project finance and infrastructure department is involved in most Israeli infrastructure and energy projects and is one of the few with expertise representing the state, regulators, concessionaires, and financing banks. ### Tax Herzog’s tax department is among Israel’s strongest, recognized for its comprehensive practice and expertise in international tax planning. The team has shaped Israel’s tax regime through landmark rulings and major international transactions, advising multinational corporations, high‑net‑worth individuals, and various business sectors on both domestic and cross‑border tax matters. ### Commercial Law The firm provides comprehensive commercial advice to multinational corporations and Israeli enterprises alike. By integrating expertise from intellectual property, real estate, tax, regulatory, and employment law departments, Herzog acts as a strategic advisor, addressing all legal aspects of commercial operations. ### Regulatory and Governmental Herzog maintains close working relationships with government agencies and represents clients in regulated sectors such as banking, insurance, planning, telecommunications, defense, and pharmaceuticals. The firm also has a dedicated antitrust team handling all aspects of competition law in Israel. ### Litigation and Dispute Resolution With over 50 lawyers, the litigation department is one of the largest in Israel. It specializes in disputes with international or multi‑jurisdictional elements, those involving foreign litigants, and high‑profile class actions. ### Sector Expertise Herzog has developed specialized practice groups in employment, environmental, public international, intellectual property, and real estate law, as well as in niche sectors such as homeland security (including defense and aerospace), telecoms, e‑commerce, online gaming, fintech and cryptocurrencies. By combining unparalleled domestic strength with international reach and expertise, Herzog Fox & Neeman offers clients a comprehensive, integrated approach to all their legal needs in Israel. ### Languages - Hebrew - English - Arabic - Chinese - French - German - Japanese - Russian - Portuguese ### Memberships - International Bar Association - Ius Laboris - World Law Group - STEP ### Staffing Figures - 544 Number of Lawyers - 233 Number of Partners
