Israel

Israel’s economy has been transformed from predominantly state-centred to a mixed economy over recent years.  As a result of stabilisation measures and reform, the country is attracting considerable foreign investment and increasing numbers of Israeli companies are investing in the UK and Europe. 

Our Israel Group, consisting of lawyers from a wide variety of disciplines, provides a seamless service to numerous Israeli institutions, companies and entrepreneurs wishing to do business internationally, as well as those expanding their operations into Israel.
