'EBN's team knows how to handle highly complex transactions within extremely tight timeframes. They are well-versed in industry standards, always accessible, and consistently devise creative solutions to meet our business needs.'
'Eyal Wiesel manages our legal matters very closely and is extremely hands-on. He provides excellent, pragmatic advice and is always mindful of our business objectives. Eyal and his team have managed our M&A projects with exceptional professionalism and thoroughness, and are available. We would highly recommend this team.'
'We mainly work with Lior Oren and Doni Toledano. They are both very supportive and provide valuable ongoing assistance. Lior Oren is our main point of contact—a senior partner and an expert in corporate work with significant experience in other jurisdictions, which is invaluable as our investors are not always based in Israel. We consider Lior a member of our internal team and enjoy working with him.'
'Doni Toledano is a pleasure to work with—a master of his trade, yet humble and genuinely a great person.'
'I've collaborated with them on several M&A transactions within the high-tech industry, and they have provided comprehensive consultation. Each department demonstrated high professionalism and responsiveness, which is essential in deals of this nature.'
'EBN is unique in Israel, truly valuing client relationships and never taking them for granted. After a decade of working together, they remain as responsive, innovative, and thorough as they were on day one. With their breadth of specialised expertise across the firm, they adapt swiftly to evolving situations and work diligently to ensure meticulous results.'
'We have collaborated with the EBN team for over a decade, across multiple transactions and in managing corporate and commercial operations for various portfolio companies. The team are exceptional, deeply committed, professional, and commercially minded. They understand our needs and have a solid grasp of our company’s strengths and weaknesses, allowing them to lead processes and negotiations efficiently. We are very pleased and will certainly continue working with them on future deals, including follow-ons and transactions led by our portfolio entities.'
'Lior Oren is our primary contact at the firm, with whom we work as lead counsel. He is extremely experienced, accessible, sharp in commercial insight, an excellent negotiator, well-regarded by his peers, and knows when to compromise while steadfastly defending fundamental issues important to us.'
