IsraelLawIsraeli Law Explained for the World
IsraelLaw.info is a free resource for anyone navigating the Israeli legal system, maintained under the direction of a licensed Israeli attorney.
Our Mission
Israel is a hub for international investment, diaspora communities, and cross-border families — yet reliable English-language legal information about Israeli law has long been scarce.
IsraelLaw.info was created to fill that gap. We publish plain-language guides on the main areas of Israeli law. Content is prepared with the assistance of AI writing tools, under the direction of Adv. Eli Shimony, a licensed Israeli attorney who sets our editorial standards and reviews content. Our goal is to help you understand your rights and obligations before you contact a lawyer — or to point you in the right direction when you need professional help.
The site covers inheritance and probate, real estate transactions, family law, immigration and Aliyah, corporate and commercial matters, tax planning, debt collection, and arbitration — always from the perspective of the foreign national, investor, or diaspora family member who may be unfamiliar with the Israeli system.

Adv. Eli Shimony
Licensed Israeli Attorney — Founder
Eli Shimony founded Eli Shimony - Law Office with a focus on serving the international community — foreign nationals buying property in Israel, diaspora families navigating inheritance, and entrepreneurs setting up businesses in the country. He created IsraelLaw.info to give the international community reliable, free access to the legal information they need, in language they can understand.
Why This Site Exists
Foreign nationals dealing with Israeli law face a double challenge: the legal system is unfamiliar, and most resources are written in Hebrew for a local audience. IsraelLaw.info bridges that gap.
Every guide on this site is written to address the specific questions and concerns of international readers — whether you are a US citizen inheriting Israeli property, a European investor buying an apartment in Tel Aviv, or a family relocating under the Law of Return. We focus on the practical: what you need to know, what documents you need, what to expect, and when you need a lawyer.
Articles aim to cite Israeli legislation, official bodies and figures accurately, but laws, fees and procedures change, so please verify current requirements before acting. Case examples in articles are illustrative scenarios, not accounts of real clients. For details on how content is prepared and corrected, see our Editorial Policy. The law office website is Eli Shimony Law Office.
International Focus
Every article is written with the foreign reader in mind — addressing cross-border issues, dual taxation, and the practical challenges of dealing with Israeli law from abroad.
