The firm has achieved victories in precedent-setting Supreme Court litigation, regularly handles major collective bargaining negotiations and also has expertise in crossover matters between employment and criminal law. The firm’s active client base spans such sectors as aviation, government, fashion, retail, education and tech. Highly experienced employment practitioner Efrat Deutsch, who is particularly recommended for representation in alternative dispute resolution proceedings, leads the team. Inbal Palmor Dori and Shimrit Noy, who appear alongside Deutsch in much of the firm’s key work, are also central to the practice.
