Commercial Law

Our firm provides ongoing legal counsel and comprehensive support to companies and corporations across diverse industries, with specialized expertise in banking, construction, manufacturing, services and the restaurant sector. We advise our clients on the full spectrum of legal matters arising from their day-to-day operations, with a close understanding of their activities, commercial objectives and the challenges they face.

Our practice covers a wide range of commercial agreements, including the drafting, review and negotiation of financing and investment, supply and procurement, services, marketing and distribution, agency and franchise, construction and subcontracting, and planning, consulting and project management agreements.

We tailor each agreement to the client’s specific needs and commercial objectives. We place particular emphasis on protecting our clients’ legal and commercial interests, including through the structuring of payment mechanisms, security arrangements, liability provisions and risk allocation. This enables our clients to pursue their goals while effectively managing legal and commercial exposure.

With over two decades of experience advising companies and corporations, our partners integrate high-level legal insight with practical commercial acumen. We view ongoing legal counsel as an integral component of our clients’ core operations, and we are committed to providing professional, responsive and forward-thinking solutions tailored to their evolving needs.

Backed by the partners’ long-standing experience in commercial litigation, corporate insolvency and real estate, we offer clients integrated, end-to-end legal support, from routine operations to their most complex legal and commercial challenges.

Banking and Insolvency

Receivership, Liquidation and Automatic Stay

Founding partner Hanit Nov has been handling insolvency proceedings for more than 20 years, including restructuring, receivership and liquidation. She is considered one of the pre-eminent restructuring attorneys in Israel. In these proceedings, we have represented – and continue to represent in some cases – clients including Bank Discount, Bank Hapoalim, Bank HaBenleumi and Bank Mercantile – Discount, as well as developers, contractors and other commercial corporations. 

Adv. Nov is appointed by the court as a liquidator, trustee during stay of proceedings, special administrator and receiver, at the request of the banks, the Official Receiver of Israel, the Tax Authority and other commercial corporations. These proceedings, in which Adv. Nov has been involved, even included public companies and shelf corporations (renewal of operations), representing creditors in receivership, liquidation and automatic stays, as well as managing and handling companies in financial difficulties (and subsidiaries) abroad and selling their assets and operations, including selling and liquidating assets abroad.

In addition, Adv. Naggar-Snir has extensive experience in banking trials and representation in judicial forums as part of various insolvency proceedings.
