Competition & antitrust laws in Israel are rapidly evolving and becoming more complex. Israel has also witnessed increased activity in the private enforcement of competition & antitrust laws.
S. Horowitz & Co. is one of the largest competition & antitrust practices in Israel, and one of the few law firms in Israel to have a full service practice in this area. We are also one of the few firms that can advise on all aspects of competition and trade regulation law across a wide range of industries. Our competition practice is widely recognized by legal directories and peers as a leader in Israel.
We handle civil and criminal investigations by the Israel Competition Authority, represent clients facing class actions relating to the private enforcement of the Economic Competition Law, ensure merger clearance for cross-border and local acquisitions and joint ventures and advise on the application of Israeli competition laws to agreements that may be regarded as restrictive arrangements.
Our team provides practical solutions to minimise the risk that commercial agreements will face the legal challenge of being considered restrictive arrangements; we also develop and implement competition law compliance programs. The firm’s clients range from large “blue chip” multinationals and financial institutions to technology and innovation companies.
