Merger Advice & Clearances

Key Contacts

Our team at S. Horowitz provides comprehensive competition and antitrust clearance advice for mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures under Israeli law. With our substantial track record handling both global and domestic transactions, we guide multinational corporations, their counsel, and Israeli companies through Israel’s merger filing regime.

S. Horowitz advises clients on all aspects of merger control and competition clearance requirements. Transactions involving non-Israeli entities may fall under Israel’s merger filing regime if they or their affiliates meet specific turnover or market shares based thresholds in Israel.

Our experienced team has a sound understanding of the legal and economic issues underlying potentially notifiable corporate transactions. We work closely with multinational public and private companies and their counsel from across the world, as well as local Israeli clients, to determine filing obligations and secure timely approvals, or exemptions, where relevant, from the duty to file.

Core Capabilities

"The firm's main strength lies in its deep understanding of our company and market. This allows it to provide highly relevant and practical advice."
