Hi-Tech

Israel, where Porat Group is based, is known as “the start-up nation” thanks to its’ abundance of hi-tech companies and startups. All major law firms in Israel therefore come in contact with hi-tech in some form, and Porat Group is no exception.
We would even say that our understanding of the Israeli hi-tech industry is better than most other law firms’, since we have advised a wide range of clients in the industry, from investors (Israeli and foreign alike), entrepreneurs, early stage startups and large corporations and global tech companies already active and thriving in the hi-tech industry over the years.

The industry continues to be at the core of our business and therefore we make it a priority to not keep abreast of developments in the industry and the various challenges, major players and trends within it, but to also have the same entrepreneurial and creative mindset as our clients.

Our corporate lawyers specializing in the hi-tech industry fully understand the special needs our clients within the industry have and therefore make sure to provide not only professional, high quality and cost efficient legal services, but responsive and fast communication as well, knowing that this is an industry where circumstances change and are altered fast.
