Counting government agencies, multinational corporations, banks and high-net-worth individuals among its client roster, Asserson Law Offices’ ‘unique practice’ is well versed in LCIA and ICC arbitrations involving Israeli-connected parties. Headquartered in London, the team is led by ’highly capable’ Baruch Baigel, who maintains a track record in cross-border cases, while Shimon Goldwater ‘leaves lawyers on the other side scratching their heads’ in public law disputes. Other key contacts in the group include Yisrael Hiller and senior associate Lynn Yin.
