Firm Overview:

Epstein Rosenblum Maoz (ERM) was founded by lawyers who met while working at top firms in London and New York. Driven by a shared vision, they returned to Israel to combine their international experience, and to establish an innovative law firm committed to excellence.

With a focus on international transactions and a core range of practice areas, our lawyers have gained deep knowledge and extensive expertise. What began as a small team quickly grew organically into one of Israel’s leading firms, blending global insight with dedicated, personalised service for the most sophisticated clients in Israel, and around the world. First, ERM is focused on transactional and international work. They have a critical mass of lawyers who have worked in leading firms in the US, UK and EU, and they offer the full set of skills which their international and Israeli clients need to successfully close their deals. Over 80% of ERM’s work is transactional, usually advising clients on their complex cross-border projects.

Second, ERM has a startup mentality, and at the same time, as Israel’s only lockstep firm, they have a very cohesive partnership structure, which makes the firm very agile and enables them to harness 100% of the firm’s resources for the benefit of every client.

Third, ERM prioritises small deal teams, personally led by experienced partners, which makes them highly effective. As a result, each member of the deal team sees the ‘big picture’, takes ownership for the success of the entire process, and they can provide their clients with holistic and commercially sound advice.
