Hanan Haviv – Herzog Fox & Neeman

Herzog Fox & Neeman finds favour for its ability to provide not only comprehensive legal support to hi-tech and start-up companies, but also ‘to build new collaborations and lay the foundations for future growth’. Primarily noted for its dominant offering in M&A and investment transactions, it additionally advises on regulatory and commercial issues, among other supplementary areas. Start-up and emerging companies lead, Yair Geva, is dual-qualified in Israel and New York and is sought after for cross-border M&A, private equity and VC investments. Hi-tech head Hanan Haviv is recommended for his focus on financing and M&A. Other key names include Yuval Zilber; Yoni Frider; Gilad Majerowicz; and next-generation partners Raz Ofer and Miri Wang. Gal Eschet left to join Augury.

Israel > Commercial, corporate and M&A

Highly praised by one client as ‘the best Israeli firm’ for M&A transactions, Herzog Fox & Neeman‘s market leading position is demonstrated by the wide range of cross-border transactions that the team has been involved in over the past few years, spanning the defence, energy, fintech, and financial services sectors. The department is jointly led by the ‘most trusted advisor’ Ran Hai and Nir Dash, who focuses on M&A transactions for public companies. Hi-tech specialists Hanan Haviv and Yair Geva are the go-to lawyers for companies in the biotech, fintech, cybersecurity, and blockchain sectors, and Yuval Meidar is also noted for his expertise in domestic and international M&A and corporate operations. Recognised for his involvement in some of the leading M&A deals in Israel in recent years, Asaf Nahum and up-and-coming partner Michal Herzfeld are also recommended.
