Practices

Israel

Our relationships and experience in the technology and venture capital communities, combined with our insight into US and Israeli technology and financial markets, contribute to our clients' success. Several of our lawyers frequently conduct business in Hebrew and have worked both in the US and Israel, and all team members have the background, interests and experiences that are essential for effective representation of both Israeli companies in the United States and US entities conducting transactions with their Israeli counterparts.

In our dealings, we routinely:

  • Guide clients through the stages of private financings and public offerings
  • Provide day-to-day corporate counseling and assist with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance
  • Help clients establish and execute option and employee benefits plans, grants of options and other incentive compensation
  • Assist buyers, sellers, investors and other stakeholders in connection with mergers and acquisitions
  • Establish US affiliates
  • Advise on corporate, litigation and employment matters
  • Help structure and implement US and international business operations, strategic alliances, joint ventures and reorganizations
  • Provide international tax planning for Israeli corporations across a range of business transactions, including cross-border mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and tax-efficient structuring or restructuring of international operations
  • Advise clients on how to protect and commercialize their technology
  • Assist with international financing and derivative transactions, financial instruments, Subpart F and PFIC issues and US real estate investments
  • Assist high-net-worth individuals and families with US tax planning, including with respect to immigration to, or expatriation from, the United States
