About the firm and its approach ↗

AI-Native from Day One

We founded the firm in 2024 and built our workflows around AI tools from day one. Combining our partners’ legal experience with technological capabilities gives us command of large volumes of information, enables in-depth analysis of evidence and transaction documents, and helps identify decisive issues. This is an inherent technological advantage that deepens as the tools evolve.

At the Forefront of Major Cases and Deals in Israel

In its first years, the firm represented clients in large-scale corporate and commercial disputes, led the legal work on acquisitions of controlling stakes and advised on international deals in pharmaceuticals and defense. That work established its standing as a leading law firm in Israel’s corporate and commercial market.
