We are proud to present the 7th edition of the Israel Desks League Tables, continuing our commitment to recognizing international law firms that remain steadfast destinations for Israeli clients and true centers of Israel- related expertise.
In a year that has tested the limits of resilience—with the ongoing war casting a long shadow over all aspects of life— Israel’s legal and commercial spirit has once again shown its remarkable strength and resilience. Despite the turmoil, cross- border activity has endured, deals have been closed, partnerships formed, and trust built. It is within this climate that the Israel Desks League Tables offer both insight and inspiration, highlighting the international firms that continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with their Israeli clients.
Since our first edition, the number of firms with an Israel Desk has grown significantly, now nearing 160—an increase of 20% from 2019. This expanding network reflects the continued strategic importance of Israel to the global legal market, even in times of deep uncertainty.
This year’s rankings showcase over 50 standout lawyers across 11 practice areas and sectors— from global giants to niche specialists— demonstrating the breadth of Israel-related work being handled internationally. Our Value and Volume tables once again spotlight those firms leading in transactional activity, whether through deal volume or high-value mandates, with our “Elite” category reserved for those that truly moved the needle in a turbulent year.
We assessed firms through a combination of detailed submissions, peer feedback from Israel’s top lawyers, and a variety of key metrics—from local ties and collaborative efforts with Israeli firms to on-the-ground presence and visits to Israel where possible. The result is a well-rounded and credible picture of those Leading, Prominent, Recognized, and Notable foreign practitioners who have taken an active and influential role in this uniquely challenging year.
To those ranked—and to all who continue to engage with and support the Israeli legal and business ecosystem—we salute your commitment, courage, and professionalism.
Congratulations to all!
