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.
