TheMarker publication

The topic of a special January edition of TheMarker is development of israeli startups. Our firm is featured in the publication.

Our partner Adv. Maxim Rakov states our mission:

“Our goal is to ensure success for startups and investors by providing professional consulting and legal guidance to companies seeking to break boundaries and operate in global markets – from European countries such as England, Switzerland, and France, to the United States, South Korea, Hong Kong, Dubai, and others.”

“Our role in many projects is to integrate the work of individual specialists, managing and controlling the entire legal support process: due diligence, deal structuring, and investment agreement execution.”

For over 25 years, our team members have been helping businesses develop from idea to success, while also guiding investors through the complex world of startup investments. We conduct this work through our offices in Israel, USA, and Dubai.

We know that startups need different levels of support at different development stages. Adv. Rakov explains: “A company at the Pre-Seed stage doesn’t need the same scope of services as a startup at a more advanced stage of development or one preparing for an exit or IPO.”

For early-stage startups, we focus on basic needs: “At a startup’s early stage, it’s necessary to provide basic legal services that will allow the company to function and raise capital, as well as create a clear agreement between founders, define intellectual property, and then structure investment agreements.”

As startups grow, their needs change: “At this stage, it’s essential to focus on agreements with employees, lease agreements after choosing company offices, and agreements with customers and suppliers.”

Even during challenging periods, such as Operation “Iron Swords,” Israeli startups continue to attract investments. As TheMarker reports:

“Nevertheless, business continues; investments keep flowing into Israel, new opportunities are emerging, and with the right approach, it’s possible to create value for all parties – both within Israel and when working with foreign investors.”

Elbert Nazaretsky Rakov & Co. works with innovative startups in medical equipment, telecommunications, IT, artificial intelligence, energy, and defense technologies. Both startups and investors receive international-level service from us: “If you compare our capabilities – which match the level of leading firms in New York, London, or Zurich – with the cost and work culture we offer in Israel, our services are more affordable, our response time is faster, and we don’t compromise on quality and high professional standards.”
