Israel and Middle East Practice

Kramer Levin’s Israel & Middle East practice provides value-added guidance to clients from Israel and elsewhere in the Middle East accessing U.S. markets. Our interdisciplinary team has decades of experience helping clients from that region enter U.S. markets and engage in deals with U.S. investors and partners in the life sciences, technology, cybersecurity and real estate sectors. We regularly handle strategic transactions on behalf of both public and private Israeli entities, and we have been instrumental in a large number of public equity financings of U.S.-listed Israeli companies. In addition, we have represented investors from Israel and elsewhere in the Middle East in structuring their investments in the United States. 

We have long enjoyed deep ties to the local business community in the region, and our strong relationships with local legal and accounting firms make us ideal partners in the structuring of a variety of U.S.-focused M&A, capital markets transactions, joint ventures and real estate investments, as well as in strategizing for and managing high-stakes litigation.

What needs no translation is the pragmatic, get-it-done approach we bring to all our transactions firmwide — an approach very much attuned to the results-oriented predispositions of our Israeli and other Middle Eastern clients.

Drawing freely from the various disciplines within the firm, our team’s experience includes: 

• Capital markets transactions
• Securities law compliance 
• Mergers and acquisitions, including de-SPAC transactions
• Real estate
• Distressed investing
• Tax
• Technology and intellectual property transactions
• Employment and executive compensation
• Litigation
• Cybersecurity, privacy and data protection
• Immigration
