Unprecedented challenges confront clients in today’s challenging economic and regulatory environment. In today's world, competition laws govern businesses' day-to-day operations, as well as their ability to expand through mergers and acquisitions. Competition authorities are gradually more active, and their enforcement tools become broader and more effective. In Israel, the Competition Regulator is authorized to impose crippling administrative sanctions and to seek criminal prosecution. Business executives must retain legal counsel with substantial experience, commercial insight, and the professionalism to help them steer their way in this regulatory minefield. Sound competition advice could be pivotal in maximizing business opportunities, while minimizing regulatory risks. With the dedicated, insightful, and creative team at Tadmor Levy & Co. taking care of your regulatory needs, you can concentrate on doing business.
Unanimously ranked as a top-tier firm by international legal directories, including Global Competition Review, Chambers Global and Legal 500, our strong team of experts is the front-runner in Israel for competition law. Clients value the superior level of professional insight and commercial acumen provided by a team, many of whom are former staff members of key regulatory bodies.
“In a league of his own” and “the first port of call” are among the accolades used by Chambers Global to describe Dr. David E. Tadmor, who previously served as the General Director of the Israel Competition Authority (ICA); while Shai Bakal, former head of the mergers team at the ICA, has been described as “top-notch” and praised for having a “razor-sharp mind”.
Indeed, the whole Competition/Antitrust department embraces these characteristics and covers all civil and criminal aspects of competition law, providing effective advice to clients before the ICA, the Competition Tribunal, and the Supreme Court of Israel. We are specifically involved in defending against private actions before local courts, in tandem with our formidable litigation experts.
