E. Schneorson & Co. – Law Firm

The E. Schneorson & Co., Law Firm is one of the few leading Israeli law firms, which does not represent any insurance company, is not bound by any insurance company or appraisers working on behalf of insurance companies, and is not deterred from raising any legal argument or interpretation, on behalf of its clients.

The Firm participates in shaping Israeli insurance law, through its involvement in important precedents, such as Hadar vs. Ahad Ha’am in the Supreme Court, as well as in other rulings in favor of its clients raising innovative arguments and presenting legal arguments which are often accepted by the Courts, in various instances, including District Courts and the Supreme Court. The Firm has contributed and continues to contribute to the shaping of insurance law in Israel.
Professionalism, Proficiency, Efficiency
The E. Schneorson & Co., Law Firm manages claims on behalf of its clients against insurance companies in all Israeli Courts as well as negotiation or mediation proceedings with insurance companies, in order to shorten the claim process. As necessary, the Firm is assisted by top-ranked experts for the management of the claim file, including senior assessors, researchers, engineers, project managers, certified public accountants, economists, underwriting experts, and senior insurance executives.

The Firm has extensive experience and in-depth expertise in insurance claims, including fire damage, burglaries, mechanical engineering equipment and vehicles, water damage, obtaining professional liability insurance coverage for policyholders, obtaining nursing insurance compensation, employment disability policies compensation, and more.

The Firm’s extensive experience allows it to obtain the maximum compensation for its clients in the shortest possible time Frame. In most cases in which the Firm is involved, it can force the insurance company or the other defendants to reach a compromise that avoids the need for an extended wait for a verdict.
