Infrastructure

Our firm brings practical, international, and multidisciplinary experience to a wide range of infrastructure projects. Given the complexity of the field, these projects require deep understanding and extensive expertise.

In recent years, we have been involved in a number of prominent and complex projects in Israel. We provide legal advice from the preliminary qualification and tender stages, assist in negotiating and drafting agreements with subcontractors and suppliers, support financial closing, and advise throughout all phases of the project.

Our team represents clients, entrepreneurs, shareholders, construction and operating contractors, and banks and other financing providers in Israel and abroad, offering close legal support from the earliest stages of each project.

We also represent clients in legal proceedings that may arise during the course of a project, whether in managing disputes or helping parties reach settlement.

Our firm is consistently recognized by both international and Israeli ranking guides as a leading infrastructure and project finance firm. Simon Jaffa is ranked as a leading lawyer in Israel in this field. Chambers and Partners describes him as “well known for his involvement in a number of significant infrastructure projects.”
