Testimonials

‘An extremely bright and efficient team. They problem solve on difficult contracts, while keeping us protected constantly by explaining to us exposure levels — and all this within great time frames. It has a unique way of giving us the feeling that it is a boutique firm, but can also bring in other professionals as needed.’

‘Arnon’s real estate team is one of the best teams you will find in Israel. In the area of transactional work lawyers can identify the relevant obstacles in advance and then provide efficient and practical solutions. The Arnon team is very professional, efficient, and very responsive to our needs.’

‘Collaborating with the team has proven to be a truly exceptional experience, both on a personal and professional level. It demonstrates an impressive level of industry knowledge and a keen focus on business objectives. Its proactive, hands-on approach centres around a thorough understanding of client needs.’

‘I think the most important part for a developer is to know that their legal team understands them, as well as the level of risk tolerance. Over time, working intensively with the firm, I have gotten to know the managing partners and the executive team and I am in awe at  the extensive knowledge they have.’

‘Doron Shacham’s ability to gather information and integrate it with legal knowledge enables us to address the various challenges and make strategic decisions in navigating negotiations with different parties involved in the project. He is committed to seeking practical and business-appropriate solutions.’

‘Shoam Keren’s invaluable assistance enabled us to gain a thorough understanding of our standing with the relevant authorities and equipped us with the necessary information to make informed decisions, facilitating effective progress.’

‘Guy Fatal is probably one of the hardest working individuals we know in the industry. He boasts many skills. The one that stands out the most is that we never lost a sale over legal issues and all this is done without compromising our position — isn’t something I can say about all firms we have worked with.’

‘My primary points of contact are Naftali Nir and Goor Koren. I have consistently observed them to exhibit a commendable level of efficiency, professionalism, and unwavering dedication. I am fortunate to collaborate with Naftali and Goor, whom I regard as invaluable assets to my business endeavours.’
