Infrastructure / Dispute Resolution
Infrastructure and energy projects are characterized by high complexity in a constantly shifting reality. Consequently, disputes of significant financial scope are an unavoidable part of most projects in this field.
Our firm’s Infrastructure and Project Finance Department possesses unique expertise in managing construction and infrastructure disputes.
The department guides projects from their inception, during the tender stage, throughout execution, and until the projects’ completion.
The close legal advice we provide our clients with helps both to reduce the numerous risks that can arise during projects and to preempt disputes. When conflicts cannot be avoided, we successfully represent clients in a variety of litigation proceedings. We act before the various courts in Israel, in arbitration in Israel and abroad (ICC, LCIA, etc.), and in other alternative dispute resolution procedures.
Dispute resolution in the world of infrastructure requires a high level of expertise and knowledge, combining thorough litigation, in-depth knowhow of the various processes, and specific experience in different engineering and project aspects.

A Solution for Infrastructure Project Delays Is Also Needed
At the end of June, the Ministry of Construction and Housing announced that due to the coronavirus crisis the time in which a contractor can delay delivering an apartment without being sanctioned will increase to 100 days. Shai Avnieli, a partner in our Infrastructure Department, published an opinion article in Globes on the subject. He commented: "This decision, which stems from a desire to solve this complex issue, is indeed welcome. However, although this decision has a significant impact on the construction market in Israel, it does not fix the issues of the construction market as a whole, particularly not the infrastructure sector."
