From the creation of the transaction structure to its financing, we provide comprehensive legal advice, focusing on taxation, antitrust, capital markets, intellectual property, regulation, and labor law.

The purchase or sale of an activity (shares or assets), mergers and/or the formation of strategic partnerships, are complex and complicated stages in the life span of any company.

Our clients include leading Israeli and international companies, private and public, to which we provide legal counsel at all stages of the transaction, supported by knowledge of the local market, from the stage of due diligence up to the transaction completion, through contending with business, regulatory and taxation considerations. Moreover, we work closely with the capital market, taxation, employment and litigations departments to cover the entire spectrum of legal advice and ensure high level service.

The company services include, among others: preparing transaction documents, conducting negotiation, performing due diligence and/or preparing disclosure documents, preparing the necessary documents for the approval by the shareholders assembly, accompanying the board of directors and management members on topics of corporate governance, employee remuneration, tax planning and intellectual property.  We also handle any other matters required to complete the transaction, including obtaining permits and licenses from regulatory authorities, taxation and debt raising agreements, reporting to the Stock Exchange or the Securities Authority, as well as planning and accompaniment concerning integration plans following the merger’s completion.
