Law job in Israel
Rising 2L trying to think of the best way to end up in Israel for law. Are there any other firms there other than Greenberg, and is there anything I should be doing now to prepare?

Re: Law job in Israel
There are *tons* of firms in Israel, and all of the ones worth working at specifically recruit US-qualified lawyers to help negotiate deals/transactions/suits involving US parties.Anonymous User wrote:Rising 2L trying to think of the best way to end up in Israel for law.

Here's an article that lays our firms ranked by practice area: http://duns100.globes.co.il/article-1000916373
(in Hebrew).
As for preparing - how's your Hebrew? Lots of firms want US-qualified lawyers, but Israeli clients don't want to deal with their own lawyers in English. The Israeli Bar exam also requires a very high level of Hebrew. So if you're not there yet, that's a great place to start.
Are you planning on making aliyah? Or just want to work in Israel for a bit?

Re: Law job in Israel
Planning on making Aliyah at some point assuming jobs are good and I don't change my mind down the line. I definetely need to improve my Hebrew (let me know if you have advice there).Anonymous User wrote:There are *tons* of firms in Israel, and all of the ones worth working at specifically recruit US-qualified lawyers to help negotiate deals/transactions/suits involving US parties.Anonymous User wrote:Rising 2L trying to think of the best way to end up in Israel for law.

Hoping to do 5 years doing capital markets, then skip the bar exam (5-year-practice rule)
