Potential clients should be aware of its depth in offering diverse legal expertise with a touch of personalization for every legal challenge and its unmatched responsiveness.’

  • ‘Ram Pardes’ unique blend of big-picture vision and attention to detail sets him apart from many legal professionals we've encountered. What truly differentiates Ram from competitors is his unparalleled responsiveness, reliability, and the genuine joy he brings to collaborations.’

  • ‘Yoav Razin is a senior litigator whose reputation precedes him. Highly experienced, Yoav's prowess in litigation is matched by the respect he garners within the legal community. His vast knowledge, honed by years of practice, makes him an invaluable asset to any legal challenge.’

  • ‘Naschitz Brandes Amir & Co has a stand-out practice in both litigation and arbitration. This is extremely helpful where one requires information and advice as to which option to pursue, where to pursue it and how different approaches are likely to affect the case going forward. ’

  • ‘Ram Pardes is a walking encyclopaedia of Israeli law. He provides practical and well-thought through advice, and is able to answer any question put to him. Ram is also an excellent advocate. He is deferential to the decision-maker, yet is able easily to command the respect of those he appears before.’

  • ‘Gil Brandes is a seasoned member of the Israeli Bar. He is both well-liked and well-respected in Israeli; although it is easy to achieve one of these two attributes, it is hard to achieve both. Gil appears to have done so with ease. Gil's advice focuses on the practical implications and outcomes of any course of action.’
  • ‘The team stands out for its integrity, creative thinking and willingness to go further than you would expect to fulfil the client's needs. Amit Mor and Ram Pardes are two of the most able litigators in Israel.’
