While class action litigation captivates the press, judges and policymakers, the damage to companies involved can be extremely high. When defending class action allegations, companies benefit from experts who advise, strategize and plan for a successful resolution. Class Actions team at Salomon Lipchitz & Co., run by Adv. Amit Gur, is your adviser.
As one of the most seasoned law firms in Israel, our Class Actions team has been well versed in the class actions field since they became increasingly prominent in recent years. Since the 2011 “social justice protests” raised consumer awareness of issues relating to manufacturers, distributors and retailers, to the number of class actions brought against foreign corporations in Israel, clients have been tapping into our vast experience in some of the most significant and complex cases in Israel.
Among this rise in class actions, we have developed a particular expertise in defending key transport operators with regards to actions filed against them in relation to failure to operate lines, delays and other challenges to consumers. We are the natural partner for many clients operating in the transportation, including Afikim, Kavim, Metropoline, Superbus, Egged Transportation and many others, as we are in other key sectors, such as telecommunications, retail and food and beverage, and shipping. For example, we act for Haifa Port in an extremely high-value and well publicized lawsuit filed against them and Ashdod Port relating to damages caused over the past several years due to the strikes of employees.
Should class action actually proceed to any level of the Israeli court system, our team both well-equipped and equally experienced to obtain the most favorable result for the client, allowing them to return to do what they do best: run their business.
