A written conflict map
Parties, claims, forums, deadlines and leverage on one document — the shared picture from which every decision is taken and defended.
Conflict-oriented strategic counsel from Aun & Co.: forum choices, settlement architecture, cross-border moves and second opinions, planned before positions harden.
Strategic Counsel is advisory work with a disputes lens. It is for decision-makers whose next move — a settlement, a relocation, an expansion, a confrontation — has legal consequences that will only surface later. The firm maps the conflict, names the decision points, and writes the strategy down so that every step taken today still makes sense when read aloud in a hearing three years from now.
Every engagement begins with a map: who the players are, what each can prove, where the pressure points and deadlines sit. From the map come branches — the realistic courses of action, each priced for cost, time and downside. The client chooses with the branches in front of them; the firm documents the choice and the reasoning, because in conflict, the file is the strategy.
Parties, claims, forums, deadlines and leverage on one document — the shared picture from which every decision is taken and defended.
Each realistic course carries a cost, a timeline and a downside estimate, so choosing is comparison rather than instinct.
Reasoning is documented as it happens. If the matter ever reaches a tribunal, your choices read as strategy, not improvisation.
As a boutique with no institutional stake in prolonging matters, the firm can recommend not fighting — and often does.
The firm has designed settlement order across several adversaries, so early agreements created precedent and pressure for the harder ones that followed.
Comparative assessment of litigation and arbitration options across jurisdictions, weighing enforceability, speed and exposure of each route.
An independent review of a litigation strategy set by prior counsel, delivered before an irreversible procedural step was taken.
A pre-move audit of contracts, tax-residency triggers and pending frictions for a principal shifting centre of life across borders.
Described in abbreviated, anonymised form to preserve client confidentiality.
It means advisory work done by a litigator: every recommendation is tested against the question of how it would look if the conflict escalated to a courtroom or tribunal. Strategy is built to survive contact with an adversary, not just to read well.
Before irreversible steps — filing, waiving, settling, testifying. A second opinion is most valuable when it is still cheap to change course, and it works best when it is independent of the counsel whose strategy it reviews.
Generally yes. Strategic analysis prepared with counsel for the purpose of legal advice is protected under Israeli privilege rules. The firm keeps the strategic file separate from operational documents so protection is not diluted by circulation.
A one-page conflict map and a short memo: the parties and pressure points, the two or three realistic courses, and what each costs in money, time and risk. It is the working document for everything that follows.
