Meitar Law Offices

Among the largest dispute resolution groups in Israel, Meitar Law Offices is well placed to handle complex disputes. Additionally, the firm’s strong international credentials — many of its lawyers were trained abroad — ensures it is routinely involved in multi-jurisidictional proceedings. Among its key highlights, Nadav Weisman successfully represented the Israel Bar Association before the Supreme Court in a historic case striking down part of the government’s proposed Constitutional Reform. Weisman co-heads the team together with Eyal Rosovsky, who maintains a balance between commercial and administrative law disputes. Rounding out the senior litigators is dual-qualified (Israel/New York) Israel Leshem, who is sought after for international work. Also noted are corporate litigator Or Baron Gil; Liran Bar-Shalom, who specialises in finance services-related cases; Ron Peleg, who focuses on class actions and product liability; and ‘strategic thinker’ Ali Bursztyn.

‘The uniqueness of Meitar to me is the quality of its partners and team, and the unlimited professional space that is provided to them.’
‘I always put more focus on extraordinary individuals, rather than well-recognized firms, and Meitar has proven to combine the proper balance of both. The team stands out for its rare ability to provide services and expertise in all associated areas — including more niche areas.’
‘I provide the highest recommendation to Ali Bursztyn. I am not familiar with any other litigator that combines his unique capabilities. He is a strategic thinker, puts the client’s interests first, demonstrates the highest degree of loyalty and trust, and personally manages all the case details and documents.’
