Business Restructuring

Key Contacts

S. Horowitz is consistently ranked among Israel’s leading corporate law firms and advises a wide range of public and private companies, multinational groups, institutional investors, and controlling shareholders on the planning and implementation of corporate restructuring and reorganization processes.

Our Business Restructuring practice provides strategic legal advice on reorganizations, including spin-offs, mergers, asset transfers, group restructurings, and intra-group arrangements. These often serve business goals such as operational efficiency, regulatory alignment, IPO preparation, tax optimization, or investor readiness.

Working closely with company management, CFOs, financial advisors, and other consultants, our team delivers legal solutions tailored to dynamic business needs, all while maintaining full compliance with Israeli corporate, securities, tax, and competition law frameworks.

We advise on restructuring transactions within both private and publicly listed groups, including companies traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and foreign exchanges, family-owned enterprises, complex holding structures, and international entities operating in Israel. Our work frequently involves close interaction with the Israel Tax Authority, the Israel Securities Authority, and the Registrar of Companies to secure relevant approvals and tax rulings.

Core Capabilities

  • Mergers, spin-offs, and intra-group transfers of shares or assets.
  • Legal structuring in preparation for IPOs, mergers, or investor entry.
  • Structural streamlining of corporate groups and simplification of complex holding frameworks.
  • Tax-driven intra-group restructurings.
    Representation before regulatory authorities to obtain tax rulings and required approvals.

Our team has extensive experience advising on sensitive and high-impact reorganizations that require a nuanced combination of legal expertise, commercial insight, and regulatory coordination. Several of our lawyers are dual-qualified and have trained or worked in top-tier law firms in London and New York, enabling us to support restructuring projects as part of complex cross-border transactions.
