Naschitz Brandes Amir partners with boards of directors, board committees, and leadership teams to build effective governance frameworks, manage risk, and guide critical business decisions.
We advise public and private companies at every stage of their development on the full range of corporate governance matters under Israeli law. From board composition, committee structures, and governance policies to sensitive transactions, shareholder matters, and corporate crises, we provide practical guidance designed to support informed decision-making and sound business judgment.
Our lawyers regularly counsel boards, directors, senior officers, controlling shareholders, and investors on their rights, duties, and responsibilities under the Israeli Companies Law and applicable securities and regulatory requirements. We have particular experience advising boards and independent or special committees in complex and high-stakes situations involving conflicts of interest, controlling-shareholder transactions, changes of control, internal investigations, and potential litigation.
Drawing on the experience of lawyers across our Corporate/M&A, Securities Regulation, Capital Markets, Litigation, Employment, and other specialist practices, we provide integrated advice that considers governance issues in the broader context of our clients' business objectives, regulatory obligations, and relationships with shareholders and other stakeholders.
