About Arthur Shani & Co. - Law Firm


Arthur Shani & Co. deals with family and inheritance law. Attorney and Mediator Arthur Shani heads the Firm, and alongside him is his partner Ronit A. Zisman. Together, they work with a competent team that works harmoniously to provide a professional response and adequate representation before all competent judicial authorities.

The uniqueness of the Firm is expressed in its motto proudly displayed at the entrance to its offices: “Family Law–for Every Family.” The Firm is one of the first law firms in Israel to discern the changes that occurred during our time in the concept of the family. Alongside the traditional ensemble–father, mother, and children, the family can now express itself in various styles and other ensembles: father and father, mother and mother, with children, no children, one parent, or several parents. True to its principles, the Firm provides legal counsel in family law, adapted to each family wherever it is–and throughout the country, without judgment, and for one purpose only: to adapt legal tools that will fulfill the wishes of the specific family.

Firm Values

Availability and Flexibility in Communication – the Firm maintains continuous contact with clients by all means – digital, online, etc.  In this way, it is possible to shorten the time involved in the case while maintaining constant contact between the parties at any time and everywhere.

Co-Operation and Transparency With the Client – as part of the legal counsel, the clients receive a detailed explanation of the issue and the legal situation. They are offered courses of action, detailing the advantages and disadvantages of each. Ultimately, to the credit of the client stands the choice of their preferred method of action.

Thoroughness Alongside Diligence and Legal Innovation – During the Firm’s day-to-day work, the professionals learn and improve while constantly monitoring legal innovations in case law and law. The legal counsel offered is based on theory (legislation, rulings, and legal literature) and also on the facts on the ground. Thus, the Firm makes an essential contribution in outlining judgments and precedent-setting decisions in the field of family law, divorce, and inheritance. Every week, time is devoted to the Firm’s schedule for advanced legal studies, delivered by an external source, and one internal one, given by a member of the Firm’s staff, as the Firm believes that Benjamin Franklin was right when he said: “Investing in knowledge always pays the highest interest rate.”

The Firm’s Main Practice Fields

Family matters, divorce, and separation–The Firm counsels clients during significant periods in their lives and provides a solution to a wide range of issues and situations in the family, from cohabitation and marital status to institutionalizing marriage (including civil marriage) or otherwise, divorce or separation. The legal answer is complete, even in cases that need to be addressed, along with the division of property, also in the division of residence time, and parental responsibility for the children, if any. Of course, the legal counsel given by the Firm includes all possibilities to deal with the legal needs, including through negotiation and mediation – until litigation.

Intergenerational Transfer, Wills, and Inheritances – the Firm provides services in the field of wills and estates, including drafting wills and adapting them to the client’s requests and needs, handling inheritance crises and division of estates, applying for a will or inheritance order, objections to a will, including extensive experience with public figures. When dealing with the preparation of documents of intergenerational transfer, including a will – the Firm’s staff will take care to carefully edit the documents so that it is ensured that the hard-earned family capital – will reach the heirs in an orderly and smooth manner while unequivocally respecting the will of those involved.

Wealth Management, Trusts, Assets, and Family Businesses – This field combines family law, inheritance, real estate, and commercial law. The Firm addresses the need that exists among people who are beginning to accumulate or have already accumulated property–such as apartments, businesses, funds, etc.–and want to preserve it and pass it on to future generations correctly and efficiently. The Firm assists wealthy families in the planning and management of assets, investments, and trusts, with reference to law and rulings. The Firm also represents its clients in legal proceedings related to the family property (including intellectual property, shares, reputation, finance, digital and digital currencies, etc.)., in real estate transactions, and other family transactions. The Firm has the expertise related to its legal counsel, at the highest level, customized to the client’s needs in the editing of all relevant legal documents: family agreements, including prenuptial agreements and shared life, wills, family trusts, etc.

Settlement of Disputes by Private Mediation – With the entry into force of the “Family Dispute Resolution Law,” Arthur Shani and Ronit A. Zisman established the “Private Mediation” Center, which addresses legal disputes in the field of family, divorce, and inheritance – through negotiation, mediation, and divorce, in collaboration within a multidisciplinary team. This model replaces the management of lengthy, exhausting, and expensive legal proceedings within the courts. The agreements are approved and given the validity of a court decision without the need for an exhausting litigation procedure which costs time, energy, and money.

Criminal Family Law–The Firm knows how to provide the best answer needed in the field of family law and divorce – including concerning the criminal aspects arising from a family dispute and vice versa – that is, a family dispute over criminal behavior. Criminal behavior within the family includes many issues, such as property smuggling (registration in the name of a third party to hide them from a spouse), domestic violence, violation of the division of residence time, invasion of privacy, etc.

Notary Services – Arthur Shani & Co. provides its clients with notary services in various contexts and legal situations in the field of family law, divorce, and intergenerational transfer. Ronit A. Zisman is responsible for this practice field.  For example, the Inheritance Law states that signing a will before a notary is equivalent to signing before the courts and is more reliable than signing before two witnesses. In addition, the Prenuptial Relations Between Spouses Law states that the affirmation by a notary on a prenuptial agreement before marriage saves reporting for approval of the agreement by the Family Court. Moreover, even in the execution of significant transactions, it is necessary to have a notary for the parties’ signatures and a series of other issues and situations requiring a notary’s legal validity.
