About

As a native Anglo lawyer in Israel, I help private clients and businesses in 3 main ways: What I Do (1) Drafting contracts and other legal documents that properly protect their interests. (2) Negotiating their way through Israeli bureaucratic institutions (such as the Ministry of Health, the Land Registry or the Registrar of Companies). (3) Assisting them to understand the legal and practical implications of documents that affect them (such as rental or employment agreements, contracts for purchase and sale of properties, or lawsuits served against them). How I Do It I’m a qualified lawyer, both in Israel and in the UK. I’m also an Israeli notary and a professional translator in the Hebrew and English languages.
