While the Coronavirus pandemic has been seared onto our lives for almost two years, business has slowly adapted and after tentative steps early on, the deals and transactions have continued, workplaces have adjusted. Challenges persist across all sectors, as well as for the law firms who represent them, but the Israeli private sector has weathered the storm in its typical resilient way.

According to an upcoming report by PwC Israel, acquisitions of Israeli companies have reached USD 9.5 billion so far in 2021, across 86 deals, almost double the value of acquisitions in 2020 when we were all facing the full onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are excited to open the 4th edition of our IsraelDesks League Tables. With 2022 around the corner, never has it been more important to showcase your involvement in Israel.

As we did last year, we are asking law firms to complete a straightforward template and nominate their lead lawyers on the matters submitted so we can position leading individuals as market leaders.

The sectors include Energy & Infrastructure and Banking & Finance, High-Tech, and Real Estate, while we are looking for Israel-related M&A (volume and value), Capital Markets (volume and value – new), Employment, Litigation, Tax (new), Patents and IP matters.
