TheMarker, Hebrew-language daily business newspaper published by the Haaretz Group in Israel, have published an article about our firm authored by Agam Kedem Levi. 

Helping Israeli companies go global

In today’s business landscape, Israeli businesses are not just competing in the local market but are actively operating on the international stage. The law firm “Elbert Nazaertsky Rakov & Co.” stands at the forefront of this trend.

Specializing in international commercial law, “Elbert Nazaretsky Rakov & Co.” offers professional guidance to businesses seeking to break boundaries and operate in global markets. Attorney Maxim Rakov, a partner leading the firm’s international division, explains: “It’s almost impossible for businesses to avoid international influences. Anyone engaged in cross-border transactions, attracting foreign investments, or investing abroad encounters international legal issues.”

Attorney Rakov, who previously served as Deputy Legal Advisor in the Prime Minister’s Office and Legal Advisor to the National Security Council, shares that the firm was founded in 2017 through the merger of several leading firms. Since then, it has become a key player in the world of international law.

With offices in Herzliya Pituach, the United States, and Dubai, and extensive connections with local law firms across the USA, Europe, and the Middle East, “Elbert Nazaretsky Rakov & Co.” Law Firm provides its clients with direct access to international markets.

Global Legal Strategies

In a world where companies must navigate complex regulations, international taxation, and economic sanctions, the firm offers a comprehensive legal framework. “We specialize in guiding international transactions, conducting due diligence for investments and sales, and facilitating international capital movements, all with a deep understanding of tax law and anti-money laundering regulations,” adds Attorney Rakov.

He notes that, when necessary, “Elbert Nazaretsky Rakov & Co.” Law Firm also manages legal proceedings abroad on behalf of its clients. “When our client company faces litigation in a foreign country, we’re here to ensure that they receive the best legal representation. Although we don’t directly represent clients in courts outside of Israel, we collaborate with local attorneys, devise legal strategies, and accompany the client every step of the way.”

One of the central challenges facing Israeli companies is the proper planning of business structures and international taxation aspects. “When a client plans to establish an international venture, we consider every detail—from where to set up the company to minimize tax costs, to planning cash flows between countries. Our experience enables clients to significantly reduce costs, deal with complex regulations, and execute cross-border transactions optimally.”

The firm is recognized for its ability to handle complex international transactions. For example, it recently guided the acquisition of a US factory that is processing radioactive materials —a complex deal that required navigating local and federal regulatory bodies. “Every international transaction is a challenge, but with our experience and global infrastructure, we know how to provide tailor-made solutions to meet the client’s needs,” adds Attorney Rakov.

He emphasizes that Israel is a country known for its innovation and its drive to engage with the world. “While large countries can rely on their internal markets, Israel has always sought new markets, new connections, and new technologies. It’s part of our business and technological brand, which is why international law is an essential component of the Israeli economy’s success.”
