Mandelbaum, Gor, Witzman-Gor & Co. provides comprehensive and practical commercial legal counsel in Petach Tikva and central Israel, with over 18 years of experience in the field.

As a commercial attorney in Petach Tikva, we understand that every business is unique – in its size, area of specialization, specific legal risks, and growth opportunities.

What is Commercial Legal Counsel?

Commercial legal counsel is a broad field that includes legal assistance in various aspects of business management. It is not limited to handling lawsuits or legal proceedings – it is primarily preventative work, aimed at identifying legal risks while there is still time to address them, and helping you make informed business decisions from a legal perspective.

In commercial law, we handle agreements of all types – employment contracts, contractor agreements, supply agreements, service agreements, mortgage agreements, business cooperation agreements, and more. We also handle corporate law (company formation, change of legal structure, shareholder buyouts), labor law (lawful employment, terminations, settlements), licensing and permits, and civil proceedings arising from business disputes.

Deep Experience in Commercial Law

Mandelbaum, Gor, Witzman-Gor and Co. has been operating since 2008 in various areas of law, including commercial and civil law. Over the years, we have developed a deep understanding of business disputes, the procedures of courts in commercial claims, and how to structure agreements so they withstand rigorous legal scrutiny.

Personal and Dedicated Approach

We believe that every client is unique, and every business needs tailored legal treatment. We will not give you a generic "template" – we will listen to you, understand your needs, and design a legal solution that fits your situation exactly. The client relationship is at the foundation of our work, and it impacts the quality of service we provide.

Representing Claimants Only in Tort Law – Choosing the Side of the Weaker Party

In the field of tort law (traffic accidents, workplace accidents, public negligence), we represent claimants only. This reflects our values – we choose to stand on the side of the weaker party, those who have been harmed and seek justice and restoration. In commercial law, this approach is reflected in advocating for your rights as a business, protecting your interests, and creating agreements that balance between the parties while protecting you.

First Consultation Meeting at No Cost

We offer every new client a first consultation meeting at no cost. This is an opportunity for you to get to know our firm, understand our services, and decide if we are the right choice for you. In this meeting, we can also give you an initial opinion regarding your legal matter, so you can make an informed decision.

Typical Fee Range for Commercial Legal Consultation Services

The cost of commercial legal consultation services varies depending on the complexity of the case, the scope of work, and the nature of the service. A single uniform price cannot be given, but typical ranges and factors affecting the cost can be described.

Common Pricing Models

Commercial law firms typically offer three main pricing models:

• Hourly Rate: You pay for each hour of work by the lawyer. This is common mainly in ongoing consultation, contract review, and handling one-time legal questions. The hourly rate range in Israel for lawyers with experience in commercial law typically ranges between several hundred to 1,000+ shekels per hour, depending on the level of experience and geographic location.
• Fixed Fee: For clearly defined work (for example, drafting a specific agreement, establishing a company, or a specific legal review), you can agree on a predetermined fixed fee. This gives you budget certainty and prevents surprises.
• Annual or Monthly Salary Contract: Large companies typically employ a lawyer or legal team under a fixed salary contract to have quick and constant access to legal consultation.

Factors Affecting Cost

Several factors affect the final cost of commercial legal consultation services:

• Case Complexity: A simple agreement between two parties will cost less than a multi-party agreement with complex conditions and numerous legal risks.
• Scope of Negotiation: If there is negotiation with the other party, this requires additional time and negotiation skills.
• Urgency: Work done urgently (for example, completing an agreement within weeks) typically costs more than work done at a normal pace.
• Scope of Consultation: A one-time consultation on a specific question will cost less than ongoing guidance of a business over time.
• Lawyer's Level of Experience: A lawyer with deep experience in a particular field typically charges a higher hourly rate but will usually work at a lower total cost because he or she is more efficient.

Legal Investment as Business Investment

It is important to understand that investment in quality legal consultation is actually an investment in your business. A well-drafted agreement can save you tens of thousands of shekels in the future, whether a dispute does not break out or if it does. Similarly, good legal consultation before making a major business decision can help you avoid legal risks that could be very expensive.

Therefore, when you choose a commercial lawyer, do not think of it as a cost but as an investment in your peace of mind and your business's long-term profitability.

How We Work with Clients in Commercial Law

Our working process with a new client in commercial law begins with an initial consultation meeting, where we listen to your story and understand your legal needs.

Stage 1: Initial Consultation Meeting

In the first meeting, we listen to you carefully. We will ask questions to understand your business, the legal challenges you are facing, and your goals. This is also an opportunity for you to get to know us, understand our approach, and decide if we are a good fit for you. This meeting is free of charge.

Stage 2: Situation Analysis

Following the initial meeting, we will conduct a legal analysis of your situation. This includes reviewing all relevant documentation (existing agreements, correspondence, etc.), understanding the legal risks, and identifying possible courses of action.

Stage 3: Action Plan

Based on the analysis, we will propose a legal action plan to you. This may include drafting an agreement, negotiating with the other party, reviewing documents, or other steps tailored to your situation. We will also explain the implications, risks, and prospects to you, so you can make an informed decision.

Stage 4: Implementation and Guidance

Once you agree to the plan, we will proceed with implementation. This may include writing letters, negotiating, drafting documents, or taking other legal steps. Throughout the process, we will maintain close contact with you, keep you updated on progress, and provide you with guidance at every stage.

Stage 5: Closure and Ongoing Support

When the matter is concluded (for example, an agreement is signed, a dispute is resolved, or a business decision is finalized), we will ensure that everything is properly documented and that you know what the next steps are. In many cases, we continue to maintain contact with the client, provide ongoing advice, and serve as the business's "legal counsel."
