High-Tech / Startups
We recognize the importance of legal and business advice tailored to the specific needs of each startup. Such advice should take into account the unique challenges and requirements of every venture, including its operational, practical, and financing aspects.
Our firm provides high-quality legal services to startups, including ongoing support from the idea and development stage through day-to-day operations. Our counsel also covers investments, company sales, and IPOs. We support ventures across a wide range of sectors, including cyber, fintech, e-commerce, AI, SaaS, food tech, medical devices, automotive, VR/AR, and more.
Our legal advice includes structuring the relationship between founders, establishing the appropriate corporate structure in Israel and abroad, preparing the company’s initial agreements, including customer agreements, privacy policies, and general terms, drafting option plans, and advising on fundraising and investments. We also assist with communications and negotiations with individual investors, venture capital funds, accelerators, and incubators, including drafting investment agreements and executing investment transactions.
Supporting Startups in Investment Transactions
A startup’s ability to secure investment depends on both its legal and business preparedness. We provide legal services and hands-on guidance to entrepreneurs from the earliest idea stage. Our team examines the venture’s field of activity and the market in which it operates, and collaborates closely with our tax, regulation, employment, antitrust, and securities and capital markets departments to identify the most effective legal solutions for achieving the venture’s goals.
With our close support, clients are well positioned to advance through fundraising processes, secure government grants and incentives, and ultimately pursue mergers and acquisitions, exits, or IPOs.
In addition, we represent companies before the Israel Innovation Authority on matters relating to grants, the terms and conditions of funding tracks, permits for exporting technology outside of Israel following receipt of a grant, and related issues. Our services include advising on the most suitable funding track, explaining the implications of the Israel Innovation Authority’s grant conditions, and assisting with the grant application and approval process. We also support companies seeking to change the nature of their activities and that are therefore required to submit applications relating to knowledge sharing, the export of production, or the transfer of knowledge outside Israel.
Israeli Ecosystem
As part of our firm’s activity, we work closely with hubs, accelerators, and educational programs. Among the various entities are Tel Aviv University’s Center for Entrepreneurship; TAU Ventures, Tel Aviv University’s venture capital fund; IBM Alpha Zone, IBM’s accelerator program; and Florida-Israel Business Accelerator (FIBA). We also work with StartOno, the entrepreneurship center at Ono Academic College; the Holon Institute of Technology; and the Bengis Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Ben-Gurion University in Beer-Sheva.
