About

Provided by Barnea Jaffa Lande & Co

Corporate law is at the core of the consultation services we provide to clients throughout all stages of their activities in Israel and abroad. Our long-standing corporate practice attracts praise for its cross-border capabilities. 

We advise on all kinds of corporations; public or private, all forms of raising capital; share issues or debt, and all forms of corporate restructuring; mergers and acquisitions, a transfer of control, any kinds of split, liquidation and regulation.

Our hands-on approach is especially valuable in the case of cross-border transactions as this is the time when a client is particularly vulnerable and finds itself in unfamiliar territory. Our extensive cross-border experience gives you the greater certainty of a favorable outcome.
