Experience

  • Representing Solel Boneh Infrastructures, one of Israel’s largest construction companies, in the execution of the Red Line of the Tel Aviv Light Rail Project.

  • Representing Minrav Engineering and Construction Ltd. and Sacyr Vallehermoso SA in a joint venture BOT agreement in connection with the NIS 1.5 billion construction of a water desalination plant in Ashdod for Mekorot, Israel’s National Water Company. Yael provided ongoing advice throughout the project and managed the provision of professional opinions in the preparation of claims against Mekorot. In addition, Yael represented the joint venture in an extensive arbitration against Mekorot, and successfully obtained injunctions against the execution of bank guarantees by Mekorot.
  • Representing Y.R.A.V. (part of the Veridis Group), the largest waste disposal company in Israel, in its petition to the Haifa District Court against the results of very large tender for the purification of contaminated soil in a military base in Northern Israel. Both the District Court and the Supreme Court accepted Y.R.A.V’s petition, reversing the outcome of the tender. Subsequently, Yael represented Y.R.A.V in a petition against the publication of a new tender for land purification works to be conducted nearby. The Haifa District Court accepted the petition and Y.R.A.V was awarded the tender.

  • Representing an architect’s office against the Israel Burial Society (Hevra Kadisha), which had made use of the client’s unique burial system without paying royalties to its designer. A compromise agreement between the parties was reached through arbitration.
