A dispute & conflict map
Before you commit: who could claim what, in which forum, on what timeline, at what cost — your position and theirs, on one page.

Strategy
Strategy — the long view, kept in the file.
Counsel on posture, exposure, and timing — when to act, when to wait, when to settle.
Strategy work sits adjacent to active matters. The firm advises principals — founders, GCs, boards — on the questions that shape what the matter becomes: which forum, which sequence, which counterparty to engage first.
The work spans
- Pre-action posture and sequencing
- Forum selection and parallel proceedings management
- Settlement architecture and timing
- Crisis-adjacent counsel (regulatory inquiries, public-record exposure)
- Board and shareholder communications under privilege
- You face a decision — sign, exit, sue, wait — and need the dispute consequences mapped first.
- A relationship with a counterparty you may one day meet in court is starting to harden.
- Your position has never been tested against an actual conflict.
- General counsel or the board needs an independent second opinion on a live legal posture.
- A conflict is coming and you would rather choose the ground than have it chosen for you.
Strategy briefings are short, written, and on the record. Recommendations sit on a single page; the reasoning sits in the appendix. The principal decides.
04 · What you get
Dispute-resolution exposure read
Jurisdiction, arbitration, exit and deadlock provisions read by counsel who litigates them — for how each would be fought on the day it is tested. Redrafting stays with your transactional lawyer.
Timing as strategy
When to act, when to wait, when to settle: the long view, stated plainly, with the trigger points defined in advance.
An independent read
A second opinion with no stake in the prior advice — what the file actually supports, and what it does not.

Counterparty risk read
Litigation-risk assessment of a cross-border counterparty ahead of a long-term commercial commitment.

A pre-move audit of contracts, tax-residency triggers and pending frictions for a principal shifting centre of life across borders.

How is this different from regular commercial legal advice?
It starts from the dispute and works backwards. The firm does not advise on the commercial deal; it asks how a position fails, who sues whom, and prepares for that day.
What does a dispute & conflict map contain?
The potential claims on each side, the realistic fora and timelines, cost ranges, leverage points, and the decisions that change the picture — short enough to use, precise enough to rely on.
Do I need this if nothing is wrong yet?
That is the best moment. Mapping costs days; discovering the same facts in litigation costs years. Most engagements end with quiet adjustments, not proceedings.
Is the assessment itself confidential?
Yes — it is legal advice, prepared under privilege, addressed to you alone.
Where a strategic engagement touches a move, a cross-border base, an expansion abroad, or an AI deployment, the firm advises on strategy and on the dispute and exposure layer. Inside Israel the firm does not act on transactions, business formation, property, investment, or commercial terms. Abroad, the firm advises as a non-lawyer adviser and coordinates local counsel, who perform the in-country legal and transactional work.
