Much has been written about Israel’s growing trade with the Gulf States following the signing of the Abraham Accords in 2020, but next door, Cyprus has been moving along steadily for some time.We catch up with AGP Law Firm, and Elias Christou Legal Services to shine a light on our close neighbor. In a market where there are more lawyers per capita than anywhere else on Earth, it is not surprising there has been a spate of law firm mergers in Israel, but none more so than recently.We speak to Dr. Ayal Shenhav about the merger between Goldfarb Seligman and his firm, Gross, which together have become the largest law firm in Israel. We ask where is this trend headed. Meanwhile, a decade has passed since Israeli legislation allowed foreign law firms to open in israel.
