Idan Miller, Partner and Head of the Insolvency and Corporate Recovery Department at our firm, was interviewed by Yedioth Ahronoth on the growing reliance on loans as part of everyday life in Israel, in light of the rising cost of living and the lack of any foreseeable relief. In the interview, Idan addressed a key question: What should we know or check about the entity we are borrowing from?
