History

Agmon with Tulchinsky is the product of two major mergers over the years with elite firms.

Agmon & Co. was founded about 40 years ago by former Deputy Chief Justice of the Israeli Supreme Court, Dr. Mishael Cheshin, and Adv. Zvi Agmon. Zvi Agmon has served as the head of the firm since Dr. Cheshin was appointed to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. The firm specialized in complex commercial litigation, class actions, antitrust matters, administrative law, planning and construction and banking and finance, and garnered a strong reputation in these areas.

The firm Rosenberg, Hacohen, Goddard, Efrat & Co. was established in 2000 by lawyers Uri Rosenberg, Dan Hacohen and Adi Efrat, specializing in corporate law, capital markets, financing, securities and energy law, and was one of the leading firms in Israel in these fields.

In 2012, Agmon & Co. and Rosenberg Hacohen Goddard Efrat & Co. merged into one firm that provides its clients with high-caliber legal service in a wide range of practice areas.

Tulchinsky Marciano Cohen Levitski was founded in 1995. The firm specialized in complex and large scale commercial transactions involving leading Israeli and foreign corporations, with a focus on high-tech and biotech, including M&A and licensing. The firm provided legal advice on the activities and investments of Israeli and foreign venture capital funds. In addition, the firm represented clients in complex court proceedings involving crisis management and conflict resolution, including business and finance related arbitration and mediation. The firm also specialized in real estate and labor law. The firm’s regular clientele included prominent Israeli and multinational companies.

In 2023, the firms merged on the basis of shared values and uncompromising professionalism.

The joint firm, Agmon with Tulchinsky, continues to lead in its many areas of activity, with significant expansion into the practices of commercial law, high-tech and bio-tech.

Professional excellence and social responsibility are part of the firm's DNA. We are not the only ones who think so.
