2 The US-Israel Legal Review 2019
W
e are delighted to introduce the inaugural issue of
The US-Israel Legal Review
, an annual guide which takes a
deep dive into the bilateral commercial relationship between America and Israel and explores the legal and
regulatory issues arising from this dynamic.
The
Review
is a co-publishing venture from the teams at
Global Legal Media
and
Nishlis Legal Marketing
.
Global Legal
Media
is a strategic legal publishing company whose founders have over 40 years’ combined experience working
with leading law firms around the world at the most respected legal publications across the US, UK and Asia.
Nishlis
Legal Marketing
is the premier legal marketing and business development consultancy in Israel, for leading Israeli
law firms and foreign law firms venturing into Israel.
The
Review
features the first ever
Israel Desks League Tables
. The tables showcase those international law firms
involved in Israeli deals and with Israeli clients. Following extensive meetings, data collection and analysis, we
would like to thank all the international law firms with an Israel Desk for submitting a range of deals in M&A,
high-tech, VC and PE, real estate and more. The
Review
ranks deals in terms of both volume and value and we look
forward to even more tables next year after an immensely positive response from global law firms.
We are grateful to our contributing law firms for providing their expertise and insight to illuminate a full range
of issues arising from the US – Israeli commercial relationship. We would also like to extend a special thank you
to Aric Press, the doyen of legal commentators in the US these many years, for his invaluable advice and for his
assistance with our
GC Technology Roundtable
. Aric’s unparalleled experience and understanding of the subtleties
of the business of law have found true expression at PP&C Consulting in New York where he can be reached at aric@
ppandcconsulting.com.
The US-Israel Legal Review
will be read at law firms, in-house legal departments and businesses (particularly in the
tech sector) across both jurisdictions. We welcome your feedback and will be happy to respond. Please feel free to
contact us at the email addresses below.
We hope you enjoy the publication.
