Mr Noam Zamir > S. Horowitz & Co > Tel Aviv, Israel > Lawyer Profile

Counting banks and other financial institutions, bondholders, Israeli companies and creditors among its key roster of clients, the ‘efficient, available, and responsive’ team at S. Horowitz & Co handles a range of matters, from corporate rescues, rehabilitation proceedings and receiverships to court-sanctioned creditor arrangements and liquidations. Ehud Arzi, who handles contentious restructuring and insolvency mandates, jointly leads the practice alongside Ran Feldman, who represents clients in liquidation proceedings, bankruptcy cases, receivership matters and freezing procedures. ‘Excellent’ Noam Zamir is another key contact in the group.

S. Horowitz & Co fields one of the most ‘detail-oriented team of litigators in Israel’, according to some. The sizeable group benefits from the experience of around 84 lawyers, which marks it as a key contender for large-scale disputes. The practice is further distinguished by the breadth of its contentious offering, which spans commercial litigation, administrative law, arbitral proceedings, construction disputes and insurance-related cases, among other matters. Department head Yehoshua Horesh is highly regarded for his experience in commercial and corporate disputes. Other key partners include Ehud Arzi, who is recommended for banking and finance-related litigation; Eliya Zunz Koller, who has a focus on administrative law cases; Benjamin Sheffer, who specialises in construction, infrastructure and real estate disputes; Eran Bezalel, whose practice encompasses a range of civil and commercial disputes; and the ‘smart, sophisticated and knowledgeable’ Noam Zamir.

Noted for its ‘experience of complex, high-value international matters’, S. Horowitz & Co’s arbitration and mediation practice forms a key part of its signature dispute resolution offering. The group handles a mix of international and domestic arbitral cases, with its recent work spanning proceedings under ICC and LCIA rules, among others — it is also well versed in mediation procedures. Uriel Prinz ‘deals calmly and authoritatively with complex issues’  and co-heads the practice alongside Benjamin Sheffer, who focuses on construction and infrastructure disputes. Noam Zamir and Marina Roizer are also noted.
