The US-Israel Legal Review 2023
Welcome to the 5th edition of The US-Israel Legal Review, brought to you by Global Legal Media and Nishlis Legal Marketing. As our front cover headline encapsulates, Israel is currently undergoing unprecedented challenges.
Yet Israel and its economy remain resilient, and both have the unstinting support of the United States, Israel’s largest defence and trading partner.
Harnessing the characteristics of resilience, courage and commitment, as well as their common values to drive innovation and progress have always been at the front of this relationship. Our opening editorial highlights some of the key trends and challenges that shaped the Israeli economy in 2023, and shares some thoughts on the implications for the future.
Israeli law firms explore a variety of topics, covering: litigation in Israel; Israeli M&A amidst transformation and turbulence; noteworthy developments that have shaped the Israeli tax sphere over the past year; the interplay of technology and mental health, with a particular focus on the transformative influence of gamified technology; challenges to Israel’s intellectual property landscape amidst the ongoing conflict; and the revolution of financial information & payments in Israel. In addition, US headquartered professional services firm Marsh examines the expedited rise in the use of representations and warranties insurance (RWI) in Israeli-nexus M&A.
From the US law firm side, there are articles on the ever-changing U.S. regulatory landscape and its impact on Israeli fintechs; the US drug pricing regime – the most complex in the world; Artificial Intelligence (AI) regulation in the US; the U.S. Corporate Transparency Act – what Israeli investors need to know; and global M&A activity and the ongoing optimism in the Israeli market. There is also a piece on exploring investment opportunities in the California market, as well as our General Counsel Roundtable.
We also bring you the latest Israel Desks League Tables, which showcases the most prominent law firms, all with clients that are active in Israel-related deals in 2023. With funds being raised, transactions being completed, and joint ventures being formed, the show very much goes on.
