Tel Aviv-based boutique Herzog Fox & Neeman is well-regarded for its employment law expertise, with the firm boasting a strong track record in the Israeli Labour Courts, and often being called upon to act in novel and potential precedent-setting cases. The firm is also notable for its strengths in industrial relations and trade union-related work, advising on collective bargaining and strike actions matters. The team is led by the highly experienced Orly Gerbi, an expert in employment-related litigation and dispute resolution who frequently represents Israeli and international companies before various courts and tribunals. Transactional-side employment specialist Liat Shaked-Katz and the public entities-focused Moria Tam-Harshoshanim are also key, as are arbitration and collective bargaining expert Chagai Vered and the ‘practical’ and ‘creative’ Maayan Hammer-Tzeelon.
