About

Provided by Herzog Fox & Neeman

Herzog Fox & Neeman's Transportation Practice has been involved in almost all of the large scale transportation projects and transactions in Israel, including the Cross Israel Highway, Road 431, the Carmel Tunnels and the Jerusalem Light Rail Red Line. Currently, we advise clients on the largest transportation projects being developed in Israel – the Tel Aviv Light Rail Green and Purple Line Tenders, the Jerusalem Light Rail Blue Line PQ and the Haifa Nazareth Light Rail PQ. 

We have developed expertise in all aspects of these complicated transactions, from drafting and negotiating the key agreements (concession agreements, EPC agreements and others) to advising on the day to day issues. Our lawyers have appeared before committees of the Israeli Parliament and various Ministries to discuss changes to the laws allowing some of these projects to operate.

We have also been involved in the acquisition, financing and leasing of almost all the aircraft of Israel’s major airlines, El Al Airlines, Arkia Israeli Airlines and others. Our team has hands-on experience in dealing with the Israeli regulators (the Civil Aviation Authority, Ministry of Transportation and others) in connection with the import and export of aircraft into Israel, registration of the aircraft and the various issues that arise in connection with aircraft sales and leases.

We are advising lenders on the financing of the development of the new seaport in Ashdod, Israel – the first private port financing in Israel.
