Advocate Avi Ben-Yaacov is a senior partner and head of the Real Estate, Planning and Construction Department at Weksler Bregman & Co.

For many years, the firm’s real estate department has consistently been ranked as leading practitioners in both Israeli and international rating publications and Avi has personally been ranked as a “leading lawyer” in his field. For example, Avi is ranked as a “Leading Individual” in the prestigious international ranking company Chambers and Partners

Avi’s success stems from his ability to consult and guide in complex transactions on all issues and at all levels of the real estate industry, and to do so from every perspective. Thus, Avi represents promoters involved in real estate development as well as the owners of the land with whom the promoters are contracting; companies who own income-yielding properties and corporations who rent the income-yielding properties from promoters; entrepreneurs taking out credit to finance their operations and banks which provide the credit;  companies engaged in the field of urban renewal, tenants in urban renewal complexes and banks which finance urban renewal transactions.

Avi provides comprehensive legal guidance to real estate promoters for the entire span of a project, whilst ensuring that all aspects of his support relate and respond to his client’s needs and its organizational culture – starting from the stage of acquiring the land, its development and change of purpose, through the procedures required to obtain approval for a new urban building plan, project financing, building construction, the sale or operation of the buildings, and concluding with registration of the properties.

The transactions handled by Avi include some of real estate’s most complex and sensitive transactions: purchase and sale combinations, financing, urban renewal, acquisition of real estate corporations, construction, joint-venture transactions, project management, commercial property management and hotel management.

In the field of planning and construction, Avi represents entrepreneurs and land owners in procedures to promote new urban building plans, in objections and appeals, in the proceedings required for building licenses and in agreements with local authorities for the implementation of public works.

Avi regularly services and advises a few of the largest, leading real estate corporations in Israel which operates in all areas of real estate: residential construction, income-yielding commercial and office real estate, industrial parks, hotels, and more.

Avi also guides banks, leading international hi-tech companies, companies from the defense sector, and large retail companies.

Avi represents most of the commercial banks in Israel, both in their ongoing activity in the field of real estate credit, including the implementation of some of the largest and most complex loan transactions in Israel, and in a variety of ongoing activities in the real estate sector, including providing support in the establishment of projects, property sales, rental and leasing of properties, property rights settlement and ongoing support for property management.
