Professional Perspective

In real estate, each layer affects the transaction

A good legal document should reflect the will of the person, the structure of the family and the possibility of implementing it when necessary.

The approach should start with a practical goal: identify who is affected by the decision and which documents are relevant, and then develop a plan of action that can be implemented.

The field of real estate law and real estate law is one of the most central and complex areas in Israeli law. Real estate transactions, buying and selling apartments, land investments, property management and real estate disputes – all involve significant legal, economic and tax aspects. This is an area in which any small mistake can cause great economic damage, so it is important to use professional and experienced legal assistance.

The firm advises and represents real estate transactions of all types – from the purchase of a first apartment to complex transactions of land, agricultural holdings and income-producing assets.

Legal support in real estate transactions

It is often said that lawyers are exploitative and unfair people. This office came to erase this stigma. The entire staff there is lovely, and they do their job faithfully. In my case, I dealt with Attorney Hussam Armali, and I must say that I have never met such an honest, decent, and goal-oriented person. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart 🙏

I contacted Karen just to figure out whether it was worth selling a piece of land we inherited or keeping it. She sat down with me and explained the whole picture – rights, taxation, what can be done in the future. She didn’t try to push in a certain direction, and that was the most important thing to me.

Verified Reviewer★★★★★

Karin Amsalem, a professional and thorough attorney of the highest level! Represented us in the process of selling a plot of land that we won in a tender. This is a complex process that includes registering lease rights in the Land Registry, payments to the Land Registry such as consent fees, refunding subsidies for housing and construction, as well as handling the appreciation tax, which includes many expenses. Karin managed the entire process with professionalism, accuracy and attention to detail, while fully protecting our interests as sellers. Throughout the entire process, we felt that we had someone to trust. Highly recommend her!
