Consistently ranked as a powerhouse practice by international and domestic legal directories, EBN’s Litigation department has played pivotal roles in the most complex and high-profile litigation proceedings and has helped to shape many Supreme Court precedents of paramount importance.
The partners and associates in the firm’s Litigation department are among the leaders in the field, many of whom have clerked at the Supreme Court and completed advanced academic degrees at major universities in Israel and abroad.
We are frequently sought by clients for our experience in the largest, most complex and significant commercial disputes in Israel, including class actions, derivative suits, administrative proceedings, and much more.
Such is the quality of our experience that we often represent international corporations, such as Siemens, Motorola, Starwood, and others in any litigation proceedings in the country, while our domestic roster is filled with household names, such as Bezeq, Israel Chemicals, Bank Hapoalim, Israel Electric Corporation, Eden Springs, DBS Satellite Services (‘yes’), Taavura, Nesher, Caesarstone, Sonol, IDI Insurance Company, PwC Israel, Africa Israel Investments, and many others.
Among many landmark cases, we have advised Moti Ben Moshe on the biggest dispute over corporate control ever fought in Israel; on one of the most influential freedom of speech cases ever in Israel; and Israel Aerospace Industries on the largest derivative action filed in Israel.
