Hi-tech and start-ups

Herzog Fox & Neeman

Herzog Fox & Neeman finds favour for its ability to provide not only comprehensive legal support to hi-tech and start-up companies, but also ‘to build new collaborations and lay the foundations for future growth’. Primarily noted for its dominant offering in M&A and investment transactions, it additionally advises on regulatory and commercial issues, among other supplementary areas. Start-up and emerging companies lead, Yair Geva, is dual-qualified in Israel and New York and is sought after for cross-border M&A, private equity and VC investments. Hi-tech head Hanan Haviv is recommended for his focus on financing and M&A. Other key names include Yuval Zilber; Yoni Frider; Gilad Majerowicz; and next-generation partners Raz Ofer and Miri Wang. Gal Eschet left to join Augury.
