Client SatisfactionAs the only global law firm brand in Israel’s insurance market, Kennedys stands out for its ability to deal with multi-jurisdictional cases. The group handles the full range of regulatory and contentious matters, but is arguably best known for its record in disputes across all insurance fields. Key names include managing partner Zvika Zelichov, who heads the office’s property division and all non-personal injury related matters; Chaim Zelichov, who fronts the medical malpractice work and is sought after for his record in representing hospitals, sick funds, doctors and others in complex litigation; and Inbal Atias-Mazor, who specialises in medical malpractice and personal injury work.
