Full-cycle regulatory counsel for entities operating under the Israel Securities Authority, Capital Market Insurance and Savings Authority (CMIS), and Insurance Supervisor. We advise on initial licensing applications, ongoing supervisory compliance, regulatory change management, and remediation. For foreign institutions entering the Israeli market, we map the applicable licensing regime and manage the regulatory pathway from initial assessment through to authorization.
End-to-end legal structuring of investment funds — from architecture and jurisdiction selection through to full documentation and regulatory registration. We draft and negotiate limited partnership agreements, investment management agreements, advisory agreements, side letters, and co-investment arrangements. Our governance frameworks are built to satisfy institutional LP due diligence, ISA regulatory requirements, and the operational realities of fund management — not just to close the round.
Documentation and counsel for debt financing, credit facilities, and structured finance arrangements in the Israeli and cross-border markets. We advise lenders and borrowers on facility agreements, security packages, intercreditor arrangements, and collateral structures. For fund clients, we handle subscription credit facilities, NAV-based financing, and LP interest financing — understanding the fund structure from the inside and translating it into bankable credit documentation.
All three practice areas are available to international clients operating in or into the Israeli market. We advise foreign funds on Israeli regulatory requirements, foreign lenders on Israeli security law, and international institutions on cross-border structuring. All work is conducted and documented in English, with full Israeli regulatory and legal integration.
Kohavi Law is a specialist financial law practice based in Herzliya, focused exclusively on three areas where precision and regulatory depth matter most: licensing and regulatory compliance, investment fund formation and governance, and financing transactions.
The practice serves investment funds, asset managers, financial institutions, and regulated entities — both Israeli and international — requiring counsel that understands their regulatory environment from the inside.
As an independent practitioner, Moshe Kohavi brings direct personal accountability to every matter. Clients engage with senior counsel throughout — no handoffs, no dilution of expertise.
Kohavi Law regularly advises foreign institutions and funds on Israeli regulatory requirements, market entry structuring, and cross-border transaction documentation. All work is available in English.
Institutional clients require counsel that understands their operating environment, anticipates regulatory constraint, and delivers documentation that withstands scrutiny.
Every engagement begins with a clear map of the applicable regulatory framework — ISA rules, supervisory guidelines, licensing conditions — before any transactional or drafting work begins.
Documentation is drafted with regulators, counterparties, and future transactions in mind. Institutional agreements require precision that holds under supervisory review and commercial stress.
You deal with Moshe Kohavi directly throughout the engagement. No handoffs, no information loss, no billing surprises. Senior judgment from instruction to completion.
A modular clause library and documented precedent bank means each successive matter is faster and more consistent. Your legal infrastructure improves with every engagement.
