The ‘fast and efficient’ high-tech team at Shibolet & Co. had a strong year on the M&A side. In a headline-grabbing highlight, firm managing partner Lior Aviram paired up with Maya Koubi Bara-nes to advise Desktop Metal, together with Latham & Watkins, in a $1.8bn merger with Stratasys. The group also advises start-ups and investors on financing rounds, investment transactions and regulatory matters, among other work. Department head Ofer Ben-Yehuda represents numerous emerging growth companies on commercial and corporate matters, with an emphasis on life sciences. Einat Weidberg also maintains a broad technology practice.

‘Limor Peled is a great advisor and an amazing lawyer with deep knowledge in all aspects of running a company. Ivor Krumholtz is very diligent and you can always trust his word.’
‘Shibolet’s team is very strong. The team always delivers a fast and efficient response and is very capable in solving complex issues and being creative in problem solving. In its work Shibolet’s team uses advanced legal-tech tools which I believe are not used by other Israeli law firms.’
