International Arbitration
Our International Arbitration department is widely recognized as one of Israel’s leading practices dedicated exclusively to international arbitration. Our partners and lawyers have deep experience handling complex arbitration proceedings across a broad spectrum of industries, including construction, energy, infrastructure, telecoms, transportation, insurance, gaming, financial services, fintech, retail, and more. We collaborate closely with industry experts to deliver high-impact, tailored solutions to our clients.
Our team includes partners who serve or have served as Court Members in leading global arbitration institutions such as the ICC and LCIA. They are frequently appointed as arbitrators in international disputes, serve on the arbitration panels of top institutions worldwide (including SIAC, CIETAC, and IICA), and represent clients in arbitrations under all major institutional rules (ICC, LCIA, AAA-ICDR, ICSID, UNCITRAL, SCC, SIAC, among others), as well as in ad hoc proceedings.
A core strength of our practice lies in our deep expertise in representing sovereign states and state-owned entities in complex international disputes, with a particular focus on investor-state arbitration. This capability is enhanced by the public international law expertise and senior government experience of our department head, Dr. Roy Schondorf, former Deputy Attorney General of Israel (International Law). His unique perspective and strategic insight bring exceptional value to state-related proceedings.
Beyond arbitration advocacy, Herzog’s international arbitration team offers end-to-end support for all arbitration-related needs. This includes drafting agreements and structuring investments, advising on pre- and post-dispute strategies, and representing clients in Israeli courts on arbitration-related matters, including enforcement and annulment proceedings.
