Fielding one of the deepest benches in the market, following the 2022 merger between legacy firms Yigal Arnon and Tadmor Levy, the group draws on the expertise of 11 partners. Key contacts include Noa Meidan, who is a go-to name for project finance and infrastructure; Doron Tamir, who focuses on infrastructure projects and international tenders; Asher Bichoonski, who stands out for his strong public sector-side experience; and transactional specialist David Schapiro,
