Gazit Globe Law is Israel’s leading law firm in securities and capital markets. We represent issuers, underwriters and investors in all stages of initial and secondary public offerings of equity, debt and hybrid securities in the US, Europe and Israel. Most of our partners have trained previously in corporate departments of leading international law firms, and we offer clients the knowledge and understanding of the public offering process both in Israel and abroad. Our work in capital markets has received the top Israeli ranking from Chambers & Partners, Legal 500 and other leading guides, and we have been ranked by IPO Journal as the non-US law firm with the largest number of initial public offerings in US capital markets.
As part of our securities practice, we regularly address complex legal issues that arise in the context of public offerings, including the use of sophisticated and novel financial instruments. We also advise on compliance with securities regulations and assist clients in the preparation of the various types of securities filings and reporting under US, UK and Israeli securities laws.
We act for startup companies, as well as for those VCs, angel syndicates and individual angels making investments. We have particular experience of acting for founders: not only in terms of guiding them through the investment process, but also in resolving problems which may have arisen in earlier rounds.
We have many years of experience of advising on the legal issues which arise from running a technology business. Our advice may be of a general nature, or you may wish us to draft or comment upon technology agreements. Our aim is always to protect your rights and to allow you to realise the maximum value from your technology assets.
Our banking and financing advice is primarily to entrepreneurs, owner managed businesses and funds on the borrower side, though we also advise a number of smaller banks. We also advise on any related security, and in relation to acquisition finance, the leveraged loan market, and development/real estate finance.
Gazit Globe Law Firm’s Corporate practice is the largest and most comprehensive practice in Israel, advising in high profile and complex transactions on behalf of foreign companies conducting business in Israel.
The Corporate practice has advised on many of the most significant transactions to take place in Israel in a variety of industries such as technology, media, industrial companies, telecommunications, banking and the sales of provident, mutual and pension funds by commercial banks.
