Comprehensive Legal Guidance for Developers, Investors, and Private Clients in the Real Estate Sector in Israel
Our firm provides guidance to developers, investors, and private clients at all stages of a project – from the initial planning to the completion of execution – ensuring legal safety and compliance with Israeli regulations.
From the early stages, we work to build a solid legal foundation: structuring the deal, conducting negotiations, and drafting contracts with all project participants – including architects, contractors, engineers, and service providers. All of this is done while carefully adhering to planning and building regulations, municipal requirements, and relevant laws.
Ongoing Support and Handling of Legal Disputes
Additionally, we assist in obtaining necessary approvals from administrative authorities, managing risks, and providing professional answers to legal issues that arise along the way – including delays, construction defects, or disputes between parties.
Thanks to our deep expertise in real estate law and our detailed understanding of the Israeli system, we provide our clients with strategic and reliable support throughout the development or investment process, helping them achieve their business goals safely and efficiently.
TAMA 38 – Proven Expertise in Structural Reinforcement and Upgrading Projects
Our firm has specialized expertise in TAMA 38 projects – Israel’s National Outline Plan that enables the reinforcement of older buildings against earthquakes, often combined with renovation, upgrading, and sometimes expansion. This unique framework allows property owners to improve the value of their assets at no cost, while developers are granted building rights as a financial incentive.
We provide end-to-end legal, contractual, and administrative support throughout the process, with full understanding of the sensitive issues these projects entail. We ensure precise, transparent, and professional management for all parties involved.
