Kibbutz Sector

We are one of the most experienced firms in Israel providing legal advice to entities in this sector (kibbutzim, moshavim, purchasing organizations, and other types of cooperatives), as well as to outside entrepreneurs interested in investing in kibbutz industries.

Our familiarity with the constantly evolving applicable law, including new rulings issued by the Israel Land Authority, enable us to provide invaluable assistance to our clients by eliminating possible obstacles and helping them successfully achieve the numerous milestones en route to closing transactions.

Our legal services cover real estate transactions, the rezoning of agricultural lands (for commerce, industry, tourism, renewable energy, and infrastructure), land use arrangements, the obtaining of recognition of historic rights to real estate, land reclamations, the establishment and legal representation of new cooperatives, mergers and acquisitions, reorganization and restructuring proceedings, privatizations, dispute resolution and litigation, and legal opinions on diverse subjects.

We also offer legal services and guidance with respect to converting cooperatives into private or public companies, converting private companies into cooperatives, tax planning, and negotiating with labor organizations.

Our firm has excellent working relationships with the various public entities integral to the kibbutz sector: the Israel Land Authority, the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, the Ministry of Agriculture, planning authorities, regional councils, the Electricity Authority, the Antitrust Commissioner, and other regulatory authorities.
