AI governance, deals, and real estate, built to hold up.

A Tech-Legal practice uniting law, technology, and economics. We turn AI exposure and regulation (the EU AI Act) into a managed, defensible system, and back M&A, international transactions, and real estate and urban renewal. Over 20 years of transactional practice.

Entry by what you need, not by how the firm is organised

Technology companies

A product that runs a model, customers in Europe, and a regulation that took effect before the team had time to read it.

Public sector and authorities

An administrative decision a system recommends has to explain itself, two years after it was made as well.

Companies and businesses

A transaction, a contract, or a dispute whose exposure is larger than the number written on it.

Private clients

A home, a property, or an agreement whose signature changes your life. Here we check what the other side checked long ago.

We turn legal risk into a system you can control.

Complex cases fail on the small things: a clause that slips, a deadline no one logged, an exposure flagged too late. We build the layer that catches them, pairing algorithmic legal and economic analysis with disciplined process.

Law, real estate, and AI in one place. We guide deals and buyers in Israel and abroad, represent owners and rights-holders, audit exposure and streamline contract drafting, and keep even the most complex matters under sharp, documented control.

The AI and algorithmic-risk layer

AI Regulation & EU AI Act Conformity

Risk classification, GPAI obligations, and technical documentation, mapped into an orderly conformity matrix. For tech exporters and for M&A and VC due diligence, phased by obligation and risk tier.

AI Liability & Risk Governance

For boards, executives, and CPAs: a conformity index and exposure matrix that price your algorithmic liability early, before a regulator or a claimant does.

IP & Data Protection

A defensible IP layer around your technology and a secure, Privacy-by-Design data architecture: patents, trade secrets, and proprietary models.

Contracts & Venture Counsel

Automated contract governance, counsel for startups and technology companies, funding rounds and founder agreements, and technology due diligence for deals.

Public Sector AI

For municipalities, ministries, and public tenders: explainable, bias-audited decision systems that withstand administrative petitions and State Comptroller review.

Mediation & Dispute Resolution (DOM)

Decision-Oriented Mediation for AI, corporate, and regulatory disputes, and defense of automated decisions under challenge, on a defensible record.

A firm and an AI lab, under one roof

What makes your firm different from traditional tech law firms?

Traditional firms advise on law without understanding a single line of code. We bridge this gap. As a Tech-Legal boutique, we operate at the intersection of advanced law, applied economics, and AI architecture. We understand your product, RAG systems, and database structures from day one, so your legal framework is designed to protect and strengthen your technological assets.

How do you help startups protect their IP when using Generative AI?

We implement strict Privacy-by-Design protocols. This includes establishing secure local environments (using open-source models) to prevent sensitive IP and customer data from leaking into public clouds. We also design robust AI usage policies to ensure your developers do not pollute your proprietary source code with third-party copyrighted material, which could otherwise jeopardize future funding or M&A.

What is the Clinic and Engine model?

It is our dual-force operational framework. The Clinic represents our knowledge, research, and elite advisory, where we conduct masterclasses, executive training, and draft bespoke legal strategies. The Engine is our execution and integration arm, where we build secure AI platforms, automate contract governance, and engineer the actual tech-legal infrastructure for your business.

How do you help public sector bodies and local authorities adopt AI safely?

We build the governance layer that public adoption demands: explainable decision systems, documented bias auditing, and a defensible record for every automated determination. The result withstands administrative petitions, freedom-of-information scrutiny, and State Comptroller review, so an authority can adopt AI without inviting the challenge that follows opaque, unaccountable systems.

What is DOM (Decision-Oriented Mediation) and how does it work?

DOM is our proprietary, 8-module dispute resolution framework designed for complex AI, corporate, and regulatory conflicts. Unlike traditional, drawn-out litigation or standard mediation, DOM is strictly time-bound, analytical, and highly structured. It combines law and economic modeling to drive the parties toward an optimal, legally binding settlement without draining organizational resources.

Can you help our enterprise comply with global AI regulations like the EU AI Act?

Yes. We specialize in proactive regulatory engineering. We perform algorithmic risk assessments and align your tech stack with the strictest global frameworks (including the EU AI Act and advanced privacy laws). We turn compliance from a bureaucratic hurdle into a competitive advantage that builds trust with enterprise clients.

Do you build the actual AI platforms and automated workflows for clients?

Absolutely. We do not just write contracts; we engineer the systems that govern them. We assist organizations in building secure, internal AI platforms, custom vector databases, and automated contract workflows (Agentic Workflows) that manage and mitigate risks in real-time with zero friction.

What does your full-service legal support for startups cover?

We provide end-to-end legal and economic backing from inception to scale. This includes structuring sophisticated founders agreements, IP assignment, corporate governance, venture building, and representing the company in capital rounds (SAFE, Equity) and strategic M&A transactions.

Why is an economic perspective (Law & Economics) crucial for my tech business?

Tech regulation is fundamentally economic. By applying rigorous Law & Economics principles, we do not just look at what is legally permissible; we model the financial and operational impact of legal structures on your business. The goal is a legal architecture that supports sustainable growth and protects company value.

How do your corporate training and masterclasses work?

We deliver highly specialized, actionable masterclasses and workshops for boards of directors, executive teams, and R&D departments. We translate complex tech-legal concepts, algorithmic risks, and shifting regulations into practical, business-oriented decision-making tools.

How do we start working with you?

We begin with a strategic Tech-Legal Diagnostics session. In this initial meeting, we map your current technical architecture, corporate structure, and regulatory exposure to identify immediate vulnerabilities and design a tailored roadmap for your venture.

Do owners need their own lawyer if the developer has one?

Yes. The developer's lawyer represents the developer. Owners and the committee need independent representation whose only client is them.

What protects us if the developer fails mid-project?

Bank guarantees, staged milestones, and the right termination and step-in clauses, all set before signing.

How early should we bring in a lawyer?

Before signing anything, ideally before the committee commits to a developer. The leverage is highest at the start.

Do I need an Israeli lawyer for a deal abroad?

Alongside local counsel, yes. An Israeli lawyer guards the deal end-to-end and keeps the protection with you, even where local-law advice is given abroad.

What is the biggest cross-border risk?

Importing Israeli assumptions. Title, holding structure, and taxation differ, and that gap is where deals break.

When should the structure be decided?

Before money moves. The holding and tax structure set before signing decides your real return and exposure.

Does a pre-deal consultation replace my lawyer?

No. It is an executive strategy and risk layer that works alongside your existing lawyer or litigator, not instead of them.

What is Decision-Oriented Mediation (DOM)?

A results-oriented mediation model that drives disputes to a defensible resolution, often far faster than litigation.

How does AI fit a legal practice?

It sharpens risk analysis and documentation. The lawyering stays human; the exposure map gets faster and more defensible.
