With a deep understanding of the law, procedure and strategic considerations, FISCHER (FBC & Co.) is a popular choice to defend many large blue-chip domestic corporates across a broad swathe of class action litigation. The team is led by the ‘exceptional’ Gil Orion who is very skilled at handling securities litigation, including on complex matters where the defendant is dual-listed in Tel Aviv and the US. Jana Rabinovich is also very adept at handling securities litigation, with both Rabinovich and Orion appreciated for their ability to work with co-counsel in the US on the appropriate strategy in cases involving considerations of overlapping domestic and US securities law. Other recommended practitioners include Michal Sela, for consumer protection and competition-related class actions, as well as for directors and officers in derivative litigation, and Yael Riemer, who handles class actions in the tech, medtech and gaming spaces, including on privacy and product liability issues.
