What Legal Services Does a Boutique Israeli Law Firm Provide?

Direct answer — verified under Israeli law

An Israeli law firm provides personal legal representation across multiple practice areas — for both Israeli residents and clients abroad. Under the Bar Association Law (5721-1961), only an Israel Bar member may represent clients before Israeli courts and authorities — including foreign nationals with assets, family or business in Israel.

  1. Real Estate Law: Purchase, sale, litigation and Tabu registration
  2. Inheritance & Estate: Succession orders, probate, will validation
  3. Corporate & Commercial: Company formation, contracts, M&A
  4. Civil Litigation: Disputes, claims, debt recovery, personal injury
  5. Notary & Foreign Legal Opinions: Apostille, certifications, expert opinions for overseas courts
About Our Firm

A Boutique Israeli Law Firm — Built Around Personal Representation

Eliyahu & Co. Law Office is a boutique Israeli law firm based in Herzliya Pituach, providing legal representation across the full range of civil practice areas. The firm has been representing clients before Israeli courts, the Land Registry (Tabu), the Israel Tax Authority, the Companies Registrar and the Registrar of Inheritance Affairs since 2007 — across every scale of matter, from a single residential apartment purchase to commercial transactions of tens of millions of shekels, from a straightforward succession order to multi-jurisdictional estates worth hundreds of millions.

The firm's depth runs across all key areas of Israeli civil law: real estate transactions and disputes, real estate taxation (Mas Rechisha, Mas Shevach), title registration, inheritance and succession proceedings, will drafting and probate, corporate and commercial law, company formation, foreign company registration in Israel, commercial contracts and M&A, civil litigation in the Magistrate and District Courts, personal injury, notarial services and apostille, and expert foreign law opinions for proceedings before US, UK, Canadian, Australian and European courts. This is what we do — and what we do well.

At the head of the firm stands Adv. Reut Eliyahu, an Israel Bar Association member holding an LL.B and an MBA, who is also a licensed notary and registered arbitrator. The combination of legal expertise with commercial training (MBA) is what allows the firm to identify risks before they become problems and to negotiate from a position of preparation. Every matter is handled personally by Adv. Eliyahu herself — not by an associate, not by a paralegal, not by a trainee. International clients receive full service in English, Hebrew or Spanish, with remote handling by Apostille-certified Power of Attorney from any country in the world — no travel to Israel required.
