Once we finalize the agreement’s wording, we forward it to the other party. Typically, the other party will have comments, which initiate a negotiation process. We represent you throughout these negotiations, advocating for your interests, advancing your objectives, and ensuring your rights are protected – until a final agreement is reached.
02
We then begin drafting the agreement in earnest, incorporating the legal and commercial mechanisms that reflect your intentions and protect your rights, and send it to you for comments.
01
When you arrive at our offices, we begin by gathering comprehensive information about the nature of the transaction (such as the purchase or sale of an apartment, a lease, a partnership, etc.). We then review the commercial terms you wish to include, explain the legal framework that, in our professional view, should encapsulate those terms and the transaction as a whole, and proceed from there.
05
In many cases, the signing of the agreement marks the beginning of the journey, not its end. Our involvement does not conclude at the signing stage; we continue to accompany you throughout the performance of the agreement. Moreover, if disputes arise after the agreement has been executed, as they often do – we are here to resolve them on your behalf.
04
You then arrive at the contract-signing meeting. At this stage, we ensure that all conditions required for execution have been satisfied, and we verify that no documents, payments, or other essential elements are missing – anything that could undermine the signing process or the proper performance of the transaction.

I highly recommend Attorney Gal Hason, who guided us through a complex process of contesting a will with professionalism, sound judgment, and sensitivity.
The handling of the property co-ownership dissolution was thorough and responsible, but just as importantly, it was accompanied by clear explanations of every step and detail, which gave us confidence throughout the process.
Gal is a professional and compassionate lawyer who knows how to navigate sensitive and complex situations with care.

A contract is simply the set of agreements reached between two or more parties about the relationship between them. Parties may contract on almost any subject, as long as the agreement is not illegal, immoral, or contrary to public policy – agreements of that kind are void under Section 30 of the Contracts Law.
A contract may be formed in writing, orally, or even through conduct, unless a specific form is required by law. For example, Section 8 of the Land Law requires real estate transactions to be documented in a written agreement, an area where working with an attorney is especially important.
At its core, every contract is built on an offer and an acceptance. One party offers a service, product, or asset, and the other accepts it. Once acceptance occurs, a binding agreement is formed. In everyday life, we enter into such agreements constantly – when ordering a taxi, buying goods, or receiving services, even if no written document is involved.
When the engagement is more substantial, such as a lease, a property purchase, or a commercial arrangement – it is essential to put the terms in writing and ensure each party understands its obligations. A contract attorney can structure the agreement to protect your rights, address future contingencies, and ensure the contract accurately reflects what was agreed.

When entering into a contract with another party, it is essential to safeguard your rights and fully understand the obligations that come with the agreement. Whether the engagement involves a simple contract or a more complex arrangement, retaining a contract attorney, someone who is well-versed in the law and familiar with the nuances between different contractual structures, will help you craft a tailor-made agreement that suits the transaction you are about to enter into.
When a contract is breached—whether through a regular breach or a fundamental breach—the injured party is entitled to the remedies set out in Chapter B of the Contracts (Remedies for Breach of Contract) Law. These remedies include:
Specific Performance
A breach allows the injured party to demand specific performance of the contract—meaning the right to require the other party to carry out the agreement exactly as written.
Cancellation and Restitution
As an alternative to specific performance, the law allows the injured party to cancel the agreement.
In cases of a regular breach, Section 7(b) provides that cancellation is permitted only after the breaching party has been given an extension to perform, and the contract still was not fulfilled within a reasonable time after that extension.
In the case of a fundamental breach, the injured party may generally cancel the contract immediately.
It is important to understand that one cannot demand both cancellation of the contract and its enforcement simultaneously, as these remedies contradict one another.
Once a contract is canceled, both parties must return what they received under the agreement. Section 9(a) states that the breaching party must return what they received—or pay its value if restitution is impossible or unreasonable—and the same applies to the injured party with respect to what they received.
Damages
Whether the injured party seeks specific performance or cancellation, Section 2 grants the right to claim damages for the breach. Different types of damages may be awarded depending on the circumstances of the case.
Reliance Damages
These are “negative damages,” intended to place the injured party in the position they would have been in had the contract never been made—for example, expenses incurred in preparation for performing the contract or in reliance on its terms.
Expectation Damages
These “positive damages” aim to place the injured party in the position they would have been in had the contract been fully performed. This may include compensation for profits the injured party would have earned had the agreement been carried out as agreed.
Liquidated Damages
Parties sometimes agree in advance on a fixed sum that the breaching party must pay in the event of a breach. These damages are payable without the need to prove actual harm.
Parties may also agree that a deposit paid in advance will be forfeited upon breach, again without requiring proof of damage.
Liquidated damages do not bind the injured party exclusively; they may choose either to claim the liquidated amount or to pursue other types of damages instead.
Statutory Damages Without Proof of Harm
In certain circumstances, the Remedies Law entitles an injured party to damages even without proving that they suffered any loss.
Not every agreement is carried out as intended, and at times one party may feel that the other is not honoring the commitments they agreed upon. Under Section 1 of the Contracts (Remedies for Breach of Contract) Law, 1970, a breach is any act or omission that contradicts the contract. As long as both parties fulfill their obligations, a claim of breach generally cannot be raised.
A breach may take the form of failing to meet payment terms, failing to provide goods or services as agreed—whether in quantity, timing, or quality, or any other deviation from the contract. Not every breach results in the immediate cancellation of the agreement; for a contract to be terminated on the spot, the breach typically must be considered a fundamental breach.
Under Section 6 of the Contracts (Remedies for Breach of Contract) Law, a fundamental breach is one that a reasonable person would not have entered into the contract had they foreseen the breach and its consequences. A breach may also be defined as fundamental if the parties expressly agreed in the contract that a particular act or omission would be considered fundamental.
However, a clause that labels a wide and undifferentiated list of acts as “fundamental breaches” will not necessarily be enforceable unless its terms were reasonable at the time the contract was formed.
Unlike the mechanism governing “regular” breaches, Section 7(a) provides that in the case of a fundamental breach, the injured party may cancel the contract immediately and without conditions.
A contract attorney will ensure that the agreement you sign provides strong protection in the event of a breach and that it includes practical mechanisms for addressing the breach, stopping it, or bringing the contractual relationship to an end.
If you believe that an agreement you are party to has been breached, whether through a regular or a fundamental breach, it is crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible. Early guidance may help remedy the breach and minimize potential damages. If the circumstances require legal action, you should consult a civil–commercial litigation attorney, who will represent you in the dispute and accompany you from the moment the breach arises until the matter is resolved.
