BGA works closely with the Wall Street firm of Herzfeld & Rubin, which has additional offices in New Jersey, Miami, Los Angeles and Bucharest. BGA practices civil law and provides clients, through its various departments, with comprehensive services. The Firm's Approach: Each new client is assigned a BGA partner who is responsible for all the client's affairs and who coordinates, with other BGA's lawyers in the firm's various specific departments, the handling of all the relevant topics and aspects of the case. Thus, the firm’s staff covers all aspects of the case, while the client has one point of contact. BGA’s size and diversity enables it to immediately enlist an adequate number of attorneys to handle urgent matters, such as restraining orders, petitions to the High Court of Justice, and business transactions that must be completed within a short time. BGA places great importance on full cooperation with the client at all stages of the case. The Firm’s Departments: Commercial Law; Litigation; Planning & Zoning; Real Estate; Insurance and Torts; Taxes; Capital Markets & Securities (including in the US and UK); Mergers & Acquisitions; Public & Administrative Law; Intellectual Property; Labor Law; Anti-Trust and Unfair Competition; Hi-Tech; International Commerce; Cooperative Societies; Water Infrastructures; Agricultural Sector; Local Authorities; Environment (including sewage and garbage sites); Energy; Arbitration; Bankruptcy, Rehabilitating Companies & Receivership; Trusts & Estates; Christian Orders. The Firm’s Clients: BGA represents large and medium-sized commercial clients, including Fortune 500 corporations. The firm accompanies international entities commencing business operations in Israel, from incorporation and obtaining the required Israeli licenses and permits for the entity and its employees, drafting and negotiating all contracts, through tax planning within the client’s international framework. BGA also represents Israeli companies with their foreign activities. The firm is active in helping Israeli companies go public on the London Stock Exchange. BGA represents major cities in Israel, local authorities, kibbutzim and moshavim. BGA represents Christian Orders in all their activities in Israel, and private clients in all aspects of civil law. BGA handles privatization initiatives in services, industry and infrastructure. The attorneys of the firm’s litigation department have appeared in many complex cases in Israel, in the areas of commercial law, company law, class actions, real estate, administrative law, and water and agricultural issues. International Activities: The firm is involved in international activities in the US, Canada, Italy, Switzerland, France, Britain, Germany, Eastern Europe, Japan and China.
