Dispute resolution: local litigation and arbitration

Drawing upon the expertise of numerous ‘highly professional and experienced lawyers’ in its ranks, business law boutique Gissin & Co., Advocates specialises in handling corporate litigation, with work ranging from advice on directors’ and officers’ liability and shareholder control to corporate governance issues. Noted for his ability to provide ’solid legal knowledge with a pragmatic perspective’, team head Yoel Freilich takes the lead on much of this corporate litigation, including in the context of class actions and derivative claims. The firm’s strong insolvency offering also leads to work on the litigation front, with Guy Gissin and Freilich frequently handling work for creditor bondholders seeking to maximise their returns.
