Zioni, Pillersdorf, Phillip Advocates

Why Us
Our firm is committed to the highest and most stringent standards of the legal profession. Our unique approach aims to provide excellent, creative, and in-depth legal representation. When a client seeks our counsel on a new matter, we study the factual and legal issues thoroughly and meticulously, and then hold a brainstorming session. Only then is the strategy for handling the client’s legal issues formulated. The firm’s partners lead representation in all cases and are involved in every aspect of each case, both at the macro and micro levels.

Practice Areas
Litigation – Our firm is committed to providing exceptional representation on litigation matters. We therefore accept only a small number of cases each year involving substantive and complex legal issues requiring litigation. The firm’s founding partners Shaul Zioni and Eli Pillersdorf have over 18 years of experience in litigation.
Our firm has extensive experience and expertise in counseling on a wide range of issues in all judicial instances, including arbitration and mediation, administrative, civil, and other quasi-judicial proceedings. Areas of representation include, inter alia, commercial matters such as breaches of agreements, shareholder disputes, corporate law, intellectual property, international law, and a wide range of civil lawsuits, including representation of foreign companies in Israel.
Our firm also represents plaintiffs and defendants in complex class actions in a variety of fields, such as technology, banking, insurance, medicine, and more.
Hi-Tech, FinTech, Cryptocurrencies – Our firm has unique expertise in the Hi-Tech, FinTech, and Cryptocurrencies sectors. Our firm represents leading companies in these areas, including companies operating in finance in the EU markets. We advise clients on a wide range of issues including but not limited to the fields of online payments, digital currencies, money transfers, electronic money, and banking and government regulation. In counseling clients on these matters both in Israel and abroad, with an emphasis on the EU, our firm works in collaboration with leading law firms abroad to enable the firm’s clients to operate safely and legally outside of Israel. Our Partner Ohad Phillip leads the Hi-Tech team and advises companies from the early stages of entrepreneurship in the field. Our firm assists start-ups with a fundraising, formulating executive compensation plans and labor law issues, intellectual property management, various commercial arrangements, and other joint ventures.
