Commercial, corporate and M&A

Herzog Fox & Neeman

Highly praised by one client as ‘the best Israeli firm’ for M&A transactions, Herzog Fox & Neeman’s market leading position is demonstrated by the wide range of cross-border transactions that the team has been involved in over the past few years, spanning the defence, energy, fintech, and financial services sectors. The department is jointly led by the ‘most trusted advisor’ Ran Hai and Nir Dash, who focuses on M&A transactions for public companies. Hi-tech specialists Hanan Haviv and Yair Geva are the go-to lawyers for companies in the biotech, fintech, cybersecurity, and blockchain sectors, and Yuval Meidar is also noted for his expertise in domestic and international M&A and corporate operations. Recognised for his involvement in some of the leading M&A deals in Israel in recent years, Asaf Nahum and up-and-coming partner Michal Herzfeld are also recommended.
