Work-life balance – Satisfaction at work stems from a sense of personal challenge alongside a young and pleasant work environment. Our firm actively works to promote this. For example, we were among the first law firms to launch a program to support new parents, offering additional benefits beyond Israel’s statutory rights. These include monetary grants, extra vacation days, and flexible work hours (for both mothers and fathers). Additionally, the firm’s employees enjoy sports classes, trips, team-building days, and more.
