Core Services


Business Structures

We have a broad expertise in creating legal structures that serve your needs while giving particular attention to intercompany relationships and tax considerations.  These structures include, among others, representative offices, limited liability companies, off shore companies, limited partnerships, foundations and trusts.  We have experience in nearly every country of the world, and are capable of providing a global solution to your needs.


Corporate Governance

We advise our clients on matters of corporate governance and work with our clients to anticipate possible corporate scenarios.  Once we have identified our clients' needs, we assist them with the development of proper corporate documents and proceedures, including memoranda and articles of association, corporate meetings and resolutions, shareholders' agreements, voting rights agreements, employment contracts, and Employee Stock Option Plans and Agreements.  Where necessary, we coordinate our efforts with tax and other consultants to achieve the clients' desired results. 


Banking and Finance

Recognizing that banking relations and finance are critical to the success of businesses, we advise our clients on all aspects of this field, including lending and other banking transactions, private equity and debt funding, Private Placement Memoranda, and governmental programs such as incubator and Chief Scientist funding.  We are also expert in asset based lending, and have advised major Israeli companies on asset backed securitizations in an aggregate amount of nearly US$1Bn.

 


Mergers and Acquisitions

We have handled numerous and diverse transactions in the field of mergers and acquisitions, including share purchase transactions, asset purchase transactions, business divestments, and mergers.  Related to such transactions, we have advised on matters of anti-competition laws and leverage financing.

 


Commercial Transactions

Our expertise and experience with commercial transactions are the cornerstone of our practice, and have earned us a reputation of being 'deal makers'.  We advise our clients on all aspects of commercial transactions, including agency and distribution agreements, supply agreements, manufacturing agreements, consulting arrangements, R&D agreements, brokerage and finder's fee agreements, and cooperation and joint venture agreements.

Intellectual Property

We advise our clients on many aspects of intellectual property rights, including patents, IP and patent strategies, and license agreements.  We are not patent attorneys, but we work closely with patent counsel in understanding whether you have the freedom to operate in certain situations or are involved in possible infringement situations.  The value that we add to this process is in integrating your corporate and other considerations with the IP strategy that makes sense for you.
