Dispute resolution
Combining deep procedural knowledge across both conventional litigation and ADR techniques, FISCHER (FBC & Co.) is well-positioned to represent international and domestic corporates in their highest-profile disputes. Gil Orion spearheads much of this work, with deep expertise in securities law matters and shareholder disputes. Tamar Turjeman-Kedem also handles commercial litigation, including in the context of minority shareholder contentions, as well as excelling in administrative law cases, including in the context of public procurement disputes. The vastly experienced Reuven Behar co-heads the team alongside Orion and is well-versed at handling a wide range of disputes, including commercial litigation, private client-related disputes and antitrust matters, as well as often being called upon to act as an arbitrator. Other key contacts include Oded Revivo, for corporate governance and securities litigation; Shai Zadik, who handles a considerable amount of litigation for real estate and energy companies; and Chen Cohen, who was recently promoted to partner.
