Strategic corporate lawyer with expertise in international business law.
What I'm looking for
I am a strategic and accomplished Corporate & Commercial Counsel with over 10 years of experience supporting multinational corporations in cross-border transactions. My expertise lies in contract negotiation, risk management, and compliance, which has consistently driven business success in global markets. I am trilingual in English, French, and Hebrew, allowing me to navigate complex legal landscapes effectively.
Currently, I work as a freelance International Commercial Lawyer, where I deliver legal expertise for commercial cross-border Public-Private Partnership projects. I have successfully negotiated and drafted complex commercial agreements, including joint ventures and SaaS agreements, while advising clients on regulatory frameworks to mitigate risks. My previous roles at leading law firms in Israel have equipped me with the skills to orchestrate international commercial contracts and facilitate market entries across various regions.
As I seek a senior legal role in a global firm, I aim to leverage my extensive experience in international business law and regulatory compliance to contribute to the success of my future employer. I am passionate about fostering strong international client relationships and driving strategic initiatives that enhance market reach.
