Dear Clients, Colleagues and Friends,

Over the last 24 hours, the State of Israel has been viciously attacked by terrorists in the most inhumane manner. We have suffered large numbers of casualties, predominantly civilian. The terrorists who invaded our country committed a series of atrocities and have taken multiple hostages. As we write this message, the final details of our losses have yet to be made known.

As a result of these attacks, the State of Israel has moved to a war footing.

A number of our lawyers and staff,  and members of  their families have been called up to military reserve duty but our office remains open. Unfortunately, here in Israel, we are used to the challenge of  providing  ongoing service to our clients in all circumstances.

We have received a deluge of messages from friends and clients all over the world and this comforts us and encourages us in these difficult hours.

The State of Israel and its citizens have known difficult times. Our inner strength is such that we will, as you know, overcome even these darkest of days.

With thanks for your support and friendship.
