Goldfarb Seligman’s office stated: “Our office periodically examines connections and mergers with other offices. As we have informed you, as of this date there is nothing real that justifies publication in the public except for mere gossip.”
The office of Gross & Co. stated: “Our office has been in the process of growing and growing in recent years. Within this framework, we are constantly examining various options for continued expansion.”
The trend of mergers continues in recent years in the legal market. This year the office of Yigal Arnon and Tammor Levy merged and became the third largest office in Israel. In addition, we are witnessing a large number of partner transitions, entire departments being abandoned and joining a large firm, and small and medium-sized firms merging into the huge firms.
A few examples from recent years: the boutique office Nehushtan Yogev joined the Gross office, the veteran office Sh. Horowitz, made the first merger in its history and added the Asher-Halad office. Another significant merger was when the Hamburger Evron office merged with Erdinset, son of Natan Tolidano.
Mitar is the largest firm with about 450 lawyers and closely followed by the Herzog Fox Neman firm with about 440 lawyers.
