Shibolet & Co.

Commitment to the community is a central pillar within the overall Shibolet philosophy, comprising not only our longstanding support for social and environmental causes but also our professional and ethical obligations to clients and staff alike.

We view pro bono services as integral to the work of any modern law firm, and are proud to advise a number of noteworthy non-profit organizations:

• Shiur Acher – brings leading professionals (such as lawyers, accountants, doctors, and engineers) into public schools to serve as valuable role models for underprivileged children. Shibolet's attorneys generously contribute their time and resources to this volunteer program and partner Gadi Ouzan serves as its pro bono legal counsel.
• Raanana Symphionete Orchestra – a unique orchestra was founded in 1991 to bring together talented musicians from the former Soviet Union, and has since risen to become a huge international success. Shibolet partner Yaacov Yisraeli was instrumental in the orchestra's formation and continues to be actively involved as its chairman.
• Safe@Home – a joint community for technology professionals and security/government agencies tackling domestic abuse with advanced, creative approach.
• Ramat Hadassah Youth Village and Kiryat Yearim –provide schooling, cultural activities, and emotional support to at-risk children. In addition to Shibolet's pro bono legal services, founding partner Richard M. Roberts also serves as secretary of the Kiryat Yearim and Ramat Hadassah board of directors.
• House of Wheels – The association's programs serve over 500 children and adults with impaired mobility.
• Gvahim –fostering business and career success for new immigrants.
• Keren Shemesh – aims to assist and support talented young Israeli entrepreneurs establishing their first business.
• The Spirit of Israel – promotes social activism, reduces socioeconomic gaps, and provides vital solutions for at-risk children.

Diversity

We see our people as our most important asset, and we are committed to creating a respectful, equal, and supportive workplace. Our work environment is built on collaboration, mutual assistance, and fair, respectful treatment among all employees and partners.

We provide every employee with equal and fair treatment and do not tolerate discrimination of any kind, including on the basis of sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, views, origin, disability, marital status, or any other personal characteristic. We also recognize our responsibility to support the integration of employees with disabilities and to provide the accommodations required to enable full and equal participation.

We are proud to employ people from diverse communities and backgrounds, including Haredi employees, Arab employees, individuals on the autism spectrum, and employees with disabilities, and we are committed to ensuring they have an inclusive, respectful environment and the support and accommodations needed to participate fully and succeed professionally.

We promote diversity and inclusion as an integral part of our organizational culture, because we believe diverse perspectives strengthen creativity, enhance the quality of our legal services, and contribute to our organizational resilience. In line with this approach, we work to recruit and integrate people from diverse backgrounds, to advance women in the profession, and to foster a workplace culture of belonging and multiculturalism.

We also view respect for human dignity and fundamental rights as a core value, and we examine our activities through a human-rights lens, guided by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
