Antitrust & Competition

Key Contacts

S. Horowitz is one of the few law firms in Israel with a full-service competition and antitrust practice, advising clients ranging from multinational corporations and financial institutions to innovative technology companies. Our team is widely recognized for providing practical solutions across all aspects of competition and concentration, and food law

Competition and antitrust laws in Israel are evolving rapidly, with increased complexity and stricter enforcement. Over the years, the Israel Competition Authority has gained significant powers, including levying large fines, initiating criminal proceedings, and investigating cartels, abusive behaviors, structural oligopolies and most recently, monitoring conduct of official importers. Private enforcement, particularly through class actions, has also grown substantially.

We handle civil and criminal investigations, merger clearances for cross-border and local transactions, and advise on restrictive arrangements under Israeli law. Our attorneys are known for their creative, solution-driven approach and deep industry knowledge that combines commercial understanding with litigious thinking.
