Cybersecurity: Working alongside business, product, security, and compliance teams, Haim builds comprehensive cybersecurity legal frameworks and counsels' clients on the legal implications of cyber incidents, regulatory obligations, and incident response.
Artificial Intelligence & Emerging Technology: AI is a central pillar of Haim’s practice.

Technology Transactions & Digital Contracting: Haim advises on IT and data-related contracts, digital contracting frameworks, and electronic signature compliance — addressing authentication, security, and enforceability requirements for online and cross-border transactions. He brings depth and out-of-the-box thinking to technology-related due diligence in M&A contexts, assessing data protection posture, cybersecurity risk, IP ownership, and software licensing exposure.
Copyright & Digital Rights: Acting for prominent rights holders and other major rights holders, Haim advises on licensing, digital distribution, and enforcement.
Haim has played a formative role in shaping Israeli technology law. He chaired the Israeli Bar Association’s Computing Committee Presidium, represented the Israel Bar before Knesset committees on electronic signature legislation, represented clients before Knesset committees in numerous occasions, served on the Ministry of Justice’s Public Commission for the Protection of Privacy and participated in a governmental working group that re-examined Israel’s regulatory framework for databases containing personal information.
He also founded the Israel Data Protection Officer Forum, a platform for privacy professionals to exchange knowledge and engage with emerging regulatory and technological developments — a contribution that reflects his longstanding commitment to the development of the privacy profession in Israel.
Haim’s international client base spans North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, with regular work across Israeli law, GDPR, EU data transfer frameworks and US privacy regimes.
He serves as an ethics advisor to Horizon Europe on data use and privacy in EU-funded research projects and is accredited as both a mediator and arbitrator in international technology and IP disputes.
