Their contribution to the building of our venture was much more of top level commercial advisers than that of lawyers – they introduced us to our present investors and structured the deals with very little involvement on our end. Tomer and his team (and, in particular Keren Lahad Rachmani, a senior associate working closely with him) are super responsive, they work diligently days and nights to get deals done. Their financial model is very unique and reflects true partnership and alignment of interests.’

‘Tomer Shani is our primary contact within Meitar. Never before have I had such a positive experience working with a lawyer and Tomer exceeded many expectations I didn’t even know I should have had. He always took the initiative to offer paths forward, introduced me to many of our investors all over the world, made sharp commercial suggestions and he is also an exceptionally good negotiator.
