Big Law Firm's Benefits.
Boutique Law Firm's Attitude.

We are big enough to handle any field, but not too big. You won't get lost, just two floors. Everyone here knows everyone, and we work in full synergy so you receive precise and comprehensive advice, always knowing who's taking care of you.

We love our profession and invest a lot in learning and development. We live in the world of law and business - we love aiming high, appearing in court, crafting polished agreements, closing deals, diving into the smallest details while always seeing the big picture.

And these are just some of the reasons why Weksler Bregman has been the home for leading clients in Israel for over 85 years.

1936. The year we were founded. It’s been a long time, making us a firm that has seen it all, knows everyone, and understands everything needed to provide you with excellent service and advice on any legal matter.

Global. Since the beginning, we’ve had extensive business connections with companies and firms worldwide. We maintain this as the exclusive Israeli representatives in the MSI Global Alliance – a quality international network connecting law firms and accounting offices in over 100 countries, exchanging knowledge and creating a support network for our clients – no matter where they operate in the world.

Assurance. From the first phone call or your initial step into our office, you’ll feel at home; you’ll know that your business, your factory, your projects, your family – are in professional, skilled, and secure hands. We will leverage all our tools, talent, intelligence, and connections to provide you with the best service, always prioritizing your interests above all else.

Loyalty. We are loyal to our clients, and they to us. Over 60% of our clients have been with us for many decades (some since our founding in 1936) – continuing to choose us even after changes in ownership, among them private and public companies, private and public organizations, banks, entrepreneurs, and key figures in the Israeli industry. Because loyalty is mutual, it’s security. It’s knowing we’re on a long journey together for a common goal, making the journey much more pleasant and the destination much closer.

Diversity. We provide our clients legal advice in almost every legal sector, evident in the variety of clients we serve – banking and finance corporations (including Leumi, Hapoalim, Discount, Mercantile, Mizrahi Tefahot, International Bank, Otsar Hachayal, Massad), technology companies (Top Ramdor Group, Xioma, Matrix, Microsoft, ORT), industrial and electronics companies (such as Elmor, Krouse, Alexander Schneider, Aminach, Aero Rapac, AI Electronics, PM Manufacturing), real estate and urban renewal companies (including AFI properties, Africa Israel Residences, Denya Group, Aharoni Group, Gav Yam, Ofek Sheli, Almogim), infrastructure and energy companies (including Rapac Group, Amisragas, Amisragreen), retail companies (such as Zara, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, H&O, Carters, OSHKOSH, Hypster), food groups (Midsha Industries, BeFresh Group), hotels (VERT, POLY, Crowne Plaza, Indigo), and more.

60. The number of legal team members at Weksler Bregman. Big enough to handle any field, but not too big – you won’t get lost. Just two floors, everyone knows everyone, working in full synergy so you receive precise and comprehensive advice, always knowing who’s taking care of you.

Passion. We love our profession and invest significantly in learning and development. We live in the world of law and business. We love aiming high, appearing in court, crafting polished agreements, sealing deals, diving into the smallest details while always seeing the big picture.

Elite Team. This is the exact definition of our team. It is a team of lawyers composed of the finest professionals in their field, with a huge passion for their work and a very high level of service awareness. Our lawyers are curious, creative, and diligent. They are our greatest asset and they are your greatest asset. They are the ones who set us apart from all the other law firms. They are never reluctant to speak and are always here for you, with exceptional availability. They are the ones who will find the right way for you, and if need be, they will also pave one.
