Can I recover my legal fees if I win an arbitration in Israel?

Yes, but rarely in full. Under the Arbitration Law 1968 and the 2024 ICA Law, the tribunal has broad discretion to award costs to the prevailing party. Israeli arbitral practice generally awards costs to the winner, but at a level that reflects "reasonable" costs rather than actual costs — often 50–80% of what was actually spent. Documenting your legal spend carefully (time records, invoices) is important to maximizing a cost recovery order.
