Combining ’boutique agility’ with ‘big firm firepower’ – enhanced further by the merger in July 2025 with Shlomo Cohen & Co – Naschitz, Brandes, Amir & Co. provides ’great service and customer-oriented advice’ to Israeli and multinational clients through every stage of the M&A deal life-cycle. Private equity is a key pillar of the firm’s workload, with vastly experienced team head Sharon Amir continuing to act for Israel’s largest financial sponsors on transactions as well as on portfolio company support. Tuvia Geffen excels in handling cross-border corporate and securities matters and is particularly skilled at advising on public and private M&A transactions for US clients seeking to invest in Israel. With a ‘keen eye on commercial outcomes’, Tal Eliasaf is also very adept at handling mandates with a US nexus, particularly in the technology sector.
