About

Provided by Gornitzky & Co

Gornitzky’s Antitrust & Competition practice advises local and international clients on all aspects of antitrust and competition law, providing practical, business-oriented guidance as these issues have become integral to day-to-day commercial activity.

Our team includes highly skilled attorneys with significant private- and public-sector experience, including lawyers who previously held senior roles at the Israel Antitrust Authority. With rapid developments in legislation and civil and criminal enforcement over the past decade, most contracts, transactions and business decisions require careful competition-law review, and companies and business groups turn to Gornitzky for comprehensive support tailored to their needs.

We advise and represent clients in matters including: joint ventures and M&A; monopoly classification and its implications; horizontal and vertical restrictive arrangements; ongoing advice and legal opinions; representation before the Israel Antitrust Authority; civil and criminal litigation before judicial tribunals; and commenting and lobbying on new antitrust legislation in Israel. We also support clients on the competition aspects of international transactions, M&A and related white-collar proceedings.
