Meitar Law Offices is praised for its ‘great team of litigators with expertise in diving into complex issues’. The group is uniquely positioned to handle multi-jurisdictional matters, with its strong multinational client base and deep pool of dual-qualified lawyers underpinning its cross-border offering. It also defends major domestic companies in high-stakes cases. Highlighted as ’a great litigator’, Nadav Weisman maintains a broad contentious practice, with a focus on class actions, derivative actions, shareholder disputes and D&O liability. Weisman co-heads the wider litigation practice together with Israel Leshem — who is dual-qualified in Israel and New York — and Eyal Rosovsky. The team also includes Ron Peleg, who is revered by some as ‘the best pharmaceutical class action lawyer in Israel’.

‘Nadav Weissman is a great litigator. Israel Leshem is a great litigator and commercial lawyer.’
‘The Meitar team is extremely knowledgeable about class actions, which are common in Israel. It is particularly strong in pharma class actions, where I believe it is the best in Israel with nobody else coming close. It also has a strong ability to work with foreign clients, who may not be familiar with Israeli procedures.’
‘Ron Peleg is "Mr Pharmaceutical Litigation" in Israel. He understands the industry incredibly well and is literally the best pharmaceutical class action lawyer in Israel. He has built a strong team around him, which benefits from his experience — many of them have been doing this work for many years.’
