Heavily weighted towards mediation work, Herzog Fox & Neeman’s alternative dispute resolution practice is expected to step up a gear following the recent arrival of Roy Schondorf, formerly Israel’s Deputy Attorney General (International Law). Veteran litigator Joseph Ashkenazi heads the practice and represented major multinational corporations in a string of mediation proceedings over the past year, including Airbnb and Meta.
