Legally Israel 100 – IsraelDesks League Tables 2025 – Submission Date
Despite 2024 being marked by the challenges of a prolonged and ongoing war, the determination of founders, entrepreneurs, startups, and established companies has remained evident. While the market conditions are far from ordinary, Israeli resilience, innovation, and boldness have been particularly evident in the commercial and legal sectors. Funds continue to be raised, deals finalized, and joint ventures formed.
The 7th Israel Desks League Tables is now open, acknowledging those global law firms who are driving their clients’ Israel deals forwards in these turbulent times. The results will showcase those global law firms that are major destinations for Israeli clients and are a hub of valuable experience in Israel-related deals. Today, there are approximately 160 law firms with an Israel Desk, a striking 20% increase from the number of firms back in 2019.
As we did last year, we are asking law firms to complete a straightforward template and nominate their lead lawyers on the matters submitted so we can position leading individuals as market leaders.
The sectors include Energy & Infrastructure and Banking & Finance, High-Tech, and Real Estate, while we are looking for Israel-related M&A (volume and value), Capital Markets (volume and value), Employment, Litigation, Private Client and Tax, Patents and IP matters.
