Our legal teams provide ongoing counsel to leading corporations on their day to day activity, and advise companies’ boards of directors on the legal-competitive aspects of their activity. Among others, our attorneys provide ongoing counsel regarding the antitrust and competition aspects of large-scale transactions, joint ventures, tenders and other processes, and frequently advise clients with regard to activities related to monopolies, restrictive agreements and mergers. In addition, our attorneys regularly provide complex legal opinions on various Israeli competition aspects in relation to a wide variety of matters, including day to day commercial activity, new business ventures, joint ventures, information transfer, and more. In this regard, our legal teams provide legal opinions regarding restrictive agreements, both in cases in which the approval of the Competition Authority is required and in cases in which the agreement may be implemented on the basis of a self-assessment.

In addition, our expert competition and antirust attorneys build internal compliance programs tailored to the unique needs of each client. Our legal teams conduct in-depth examinations of the client’s commercial activity in light of the Economic Competition Law, including examining agreements, documents, and interviews with company officials. Our attorneys then draft a statement of principles and a detailed internal compliance program to ensure compliance with the requirements of the law, tailored to the commercial activity of the client.
