Krispin Rubinstein Blecher Law Offices
‘The best telecoms team in Israel’, according to some, Krispin Rubinstein Blecher Law Offices stands out for its dominant regulatory practice. The full-spectrum media, communications and telecoms group is also equipped to advise on litigation and transactional matters, including complex and highly regulated investment deals. Firm co-founder Noga Rubinstein is a go-to partner in the field due to her ’unparalleled regulatory and commercial insight’. Mohannad Nasser, who co-heads the practice alongside Rubinstein, is recommended for his broad commercial and regulatory expertise. Other key contacts include corporate partner Ortal Klein and talented associate Yael Kobrovsky, who is noted for her ‘extensive experience in representing all the major Israeli broadcasters’.
