About

Provided by S Horowitz

S. Horowitz is one of Israel’s leading employment & employee benefits practices, highly regarded for our services across all aspects of contentious and non-contentious matters.

With the support of the most prominent, active and robust litigation group in Israel, clients turn to us for the formidable strength the firm possesses in employment litigation in its own right.

Our Employment Practice Team has built on its already enhanced visibility in the field, advising local and international clients, including multinational corporations, local businesses, start-ups and public institutions, embassies and other government-owned, regulated entities, on a wide range of labour and employment issues.

We have extensive experience advising our clients, their in-house counsel, and their HR departments on all employment-related matters arising from the operation, management and development of their business and trading activities in Israel. We are well versed in providing local representation to international entities unfamiliar with local law and custom.

Our court experience is second to none. We appear on behalf of clients before the entire range of Israeli labour courts, arbitration tribunals and mediation boards in cases involving individual and collective employment disputes of every kind.

We are one of the few large Israeli commercial law firms which offers a full-service employment & employee benefits practice and working closely and seamlessly with other departments in the firm.
