Fladgate is one of the foremost Israeli practice groups in the UK with an acknowledged expertise in acting for Israeli companies seeking to expand into the overseas market. We have a dedicated Israeli team that comprises a number of fluent Hebrew speakers, together with an Israeli qualified lawyer, all of whom have in-depth legal and commercial knowledge of the Israeli and UK markets.
Our track record of promoting bilateral trade between Israel and the UK spans 20 years and has been recognised by the British-Israel Chamber of Commerce who presented us with an award in acknowledgement of our outstanding efforts.
In relation to capital markets matters, we have a long history of acting for Israeli companies raising equity, either through a listing on the London Stock Exchange’s main market or AIM market or through a dual quotation. We have strong links with fund managers who are looking to invest in Israeli companies and have experience of numerous market and product sectors. We are instructed both by companies seeking admission and by brokers seeking to raise money for such companies.
In addition to acting for a number of Israeli companies wishing to list in London, the firm’s real estate team has been heavily involved in transactions of all types and sizes for Israeli investors including pension funds, corporate bodies and private individuals. Our tax group underpins these property transactions by providing a wide tax advisory service including pre-sale and acquisition structuring, stamp duty, stamp duty land tax and VAT planning.
