Lawyer Rankings

Israel > Dispute resolution > Dispute resolution: class actions (including derivative actions)

Praised for its sensitivity to the corporate backdrop to class action cases, Herzog Fox & Neeman’s team ‘combines pragmatic advice with excellent litigation skills’. The practice is further distinguished by its significant international dimension, which frequently sees it advising on the Israel aspects of wider global matters. Demonstrating this, it is representing Meta in a case alleging it incorrectly calculated metrics concerning the average view times for video advertisements during a certain period of time — mirroring a prominent US class-action claim. Department head Joseph Ashkenazi and dual-qualified (Israel and Massachusetts) litigator Haim Machluf are valued for their ability to ‘come up with creative ideas’. David Zailer and Isaac Shragay are also recommended by sources. In May 2023, the firm absorbed an eight-partner litigation team from Balter, Guth, Aloni & Co, which included Yoav Hertman, who has significant class actions experience.
