Mediation:

Mediation is part of the growing need of the business community in Israel for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Advocate Levin (a certified Mediator) offers parties at conflict his vast experience combining law and business in order to reach creative solutions to resolve their conflict outside of court. Although most mediations take place after proceedings have already begun in court, it is quite possible to conduct a successful mediation before a lawsuit is filed. This way the parties can save significant time and cost.

A Dividend Distribution that does not meet the "profit test":

Pursuant to the provision of Section 303 of the Companies Law, 5579-1999, a company that wishes to distribute a dividend, but does not meet the "profit test" stipulated in Section 302 of the Companies Law, may apply to the court for authorization to distribute a dividend despite not meeting the "profit test" (this is also referred to as "capital reduction"). In this case, the company must convince the court that it meets the "solvency test". The proceedings in these applications are conducted in the district court. 

We represent companies that wish to distribute a dividend despite not meeting the "profit test" established by law, and successfully submits applications for dividend distribution to the court.

Carbon Credit:

The Carbon Credit field is a relatively new field, which has been growing rapidly in recent years.

"Carbon credit" is a term related to the reduction of carbon emissions of companies and corporations around the world.

The "mechanism for carbon credits" was introduced in the Kyoto Agreements from 1992, and was also widely referred to in the Paris Agreements. At the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow from 2021, it was decided to establish an international mechanism to regulate the carbon credit market, which also allows private companies to purchase carbon credit and offset their carbon emissions.

The agreements reached at the conference in Glasgow turned the carbon credit points into a sought-after commodity.

We have developed expertise in this innovative and growing field, and accompany companies and projects in the field, including drafting agreements for the development and commercialization of carbon credit.
