About

Provided by Herzog Fox & Neeman

Herzog Fox & Neeman's Antitrust & Competition department is widely recognised for its international capabilities, service orientation, creativity and pro-business attitude.

Our attorneys have many years of experience and knowledge in the field, advising prominent domestic and international companies on all types of antitrust and competition issues in Israel. We are involved in some of the highest-profile, complex and cutting-edge cases, working on both stand-alone antitrust and competition law issues as well as Israeli aspects of the largest merger transactions worldwide.

As part of our work, our team works closely with the Israeli Competition Authority ("ICA"), the Competition Tribunal and the courts. With the majority of our department's attorneys having worked at the ICA, we have a deep understanding and familiarity with the ICA's inner workings, perceptions and internal proceedings.  This enables us to discuss issues and negotiate with the ICA in a manner they will understand and appreciate and bring maximum benefit to our clients.

Our team has the ability to offer our clients 'out-of-the-box' solutions, tailored for their commercial needs, and when needed, to assist them in regulatory or court proceedings.

Our team represented in the Israeli merger control aspects of some of the most prominent mega-merger deals of recent years, including the Disney-Fox merger, the ChemChina-Syngenta transaction and more recently the Alstom-Bombardier transaction.
