5 A Word from Israel Desks: Overview We are pleased to bring you the second Israel Desks League Tables, showcasing those law firms that are not only involved in Israeli deals and with Israeli clients, but also with a deep understanding of market trends, of their clients’ opportunities, and the challenges to overcome. After an extensive period of meetings, data collection and analysis, delayed by COVID-19, we would like to thank more than a third of all Israel Desks around the world for submitting a range of deals in M&A, high-tech, VC and private equity, real estate, and more - all helping to showcase their immense expertise to a hungry Israeli audience with a healthy appetite for international deals. We reviewed the firms’ submissions, collected feedback and votes from the highest profile lawyers in Israel, to identify those Leading, Recognized, and Notable practitioners abroad, who take a proactive, instrumental and hands-on role with respect to Israel. In addition, to further introduce the lawyers who are involved in their firms’ Israel Desks, we have highlighted in our editorial recommended lawyers who have been active on various Israel related matters throughout the year.
