Vinograd & Co is well known in Israel for its work for institutional investors, and indeed, the firm is among the market leaders in that space; however, the firm has also demonstrated top-tier credentials for the formation of large and often innovative investment funds. Moreover, the firm is perhaps among the most active in the formation of hedge funds in Israel. Practice head Ronen Vinograd has recently been involved in the formation of multiple first-of-its-kind real estate-focused funds, and has also advised on the formation of a unique hedge fund investing in insurance linked securities. Sharon Friedman is another contact in the practice group.

Testimonials
‘Boutique law firm with deep understanding of the industry.‘
‘Very responsive and knowledgeable with significant practical experience and very updated on matters relating to the financial services industry, laws and regulations.‘
‘We appreciate their ability to communicate in very good English with other international law firms and other personnel in respect to representing matters relating to Israeli law or Israeli entities within our group. Their access to the Israeli regulators in obtaining clarifications if required or in representing or responding to matters in a professional way prior to the approval of laws and regulations when this is required is also helpful.‘
‘Well respected by the Israeli regulators (ISA) and when additional clarification is required from regulators or an opinion needs to be presented to the regulator they will contact the regulator directly and based on our experience they have managed to achieve good results. Team is relatively small, but even so from my point of view they are providing an excellent and timely service.‘
‘Mr. Ronen Vinograd is very knowledgeable, accessible, and very experienced. He will always provide a balanced approach after analyzing carefully the different aspects.‘
