Goldfarb Gross Seligman

Goldfarb Gross Seligman is an Israeli full-service law firm headquartered in Tel Aviv. Its current organization dates from 2011, when Goldfarb, Levy, Eran, Meiri & Co. merged with M. Seligman & Co. The firm expanded substantially in 2023 through a further merger with Gross & Co., a combination reported as creating Israel's largest law firm by headcount at the time. Following that transaction, the firm was described as having more than 500 lawyers, including more than 100 partners. The firm's work spans legal matters for companies, investors, financial institutions, public bodies, entrepreneurs, and other organizations. Its principal practice groupings cover corporate and capital-markets work in Israel and abroad, litigation, real estate together with planning and construction, and taxation in Israel and internationally. In addition, the firm maintains specialist capabilities in industry, labor and employment, antitrust and competition, infrastructure, regulation, intellectual property, privacy, energy, finance, banking, insurance, and environmental law. Goldfarb Gross Seligman combines transactional and contentious services. Its corporate and capital-markets practice supports business formation, investments, financings, securities matters, and corporate transactions, while its litigation teams handle a broad range of disputes. Its real-estate and construction work addresses property development, planning, infrastructure, and related regulatory issues. The tax practice serves domestic and cross-border matters, reflecting the firm's stated focus on both Israeli and international taxation. The firm is led by Adv. Yudi Levy, who serves as co-chairman, managing partner, and chairman of the executive committee. The firm's scale and breadth place it among Israel's major legal-services organizations. Public reference material emphasizes its large lawyer and partner base and its wide practice coverage, but does not provide sufficient information here to establish a separate international office network, ownership structure, revenue figures, or public-company status.

Goldfarb Gross Seligman traces its modern institutional history to a 2011 merger between Goldfarb, Levy, Eran, Meiri & Co. and M. Seligman & Co. The transaction brought together two established Israeli legal practices and created a broader platform under the Goldfarb Seligman name. The firm's development reflects the consolidation trend among large professional-services organizations seeking greater scale and wider specialist coverage. Over time, the firm operated as a broad Israeli legal-services practice rather than as a narrowly focused boutique. Its activities came to encompass corporate and capital-markets matters, litigation, property and construction, and tax, alongside specialist practices such as labor law, competition, infrastructure, regulation, intellectual property, privacy, energy, finance, banking, insurance, and environmental law. The firm states that its work includes both Israeli and international dimensions, particularly in corporate, capital-markets, and tax matters. A major further change occurred in 2023, when Goldfarb Gross Seligman merged with Gross & Co. The combination materially increased the firm's lawyer and partner base. Public descriptions following the merger referred to more than 500 attorneys, including more than 100 partners, and characterized the combined organization as Israel's largest law firm by headcount. The merger also reinforced the firm's ability to present a full-service offering across transactional, contentious, regulatory, property, financial, and tax work. The firm is headquartered in Tel Aviv and is led by Adv. Yudi Levy, who is identified as co-chairman, managing partner, and chairman of the executive committee. Available reference material does not establish a founding individual, a listed-company structure, a parent corporation, or detailed office-by-office geographic operations. Accordingly, the firm's documented profile is best understood as that of a major Israeli professional-services partnership with capacity for international matters, rather than a publicly traded consumer brand.
