Before You BeginA Brief Introduction to Our Firm
A short introduction to our process: how the initial review begins, what we need to understand and what happens after your first inquiry.
A commercial contract should work even when the relationship changes
The legal solution should protect the business and also match the pace of operations, flows and commercial relations.
Start with facts and documents, define what needs to be achieved, and only then choose the legal move. This way you can identify early what might delay the move and what can be resolved in advance.
A good commercial contract is not just a formal document. It is a strategic tool that protects the cash flow, reputation and ability of the business to operate with confidence. The Attorney Karin Amsalem firm led by attorney Karin Amsalem advises business owners, entrepreneurs and companies in drafting, testing, negotiating and enforcing commercial agreements – in a precise, business-oriented and experience-based manner.
In practice, most business disputes do not start in court, but rather in vague clauses, unclear timetables, or in the absence of a breach handling mechanism. Therefore, the goal is to build a contract that prevents precontroversies, and not just a contract that looks good at the moment of signing.
Why Professional Legal Support is Important in Commercial Agreements
Any business engagement creates legal and financial obligations. Even a seemingly routine transaction can include substantial risks: too broad a liability, one-sided fines, unbalanced exit conditions, or intellectual property infringement. Proper legal guidance ensures that the agreement is tailored to your business reality rather than based on a general format.
- Risk mapping contracts even before signing
- Adjustment of payment mechanism, SLA and milestones for execution
- Defining liability, agreed compensation and limiting disclosure
- Maintaining confidentiality and intellectual property throughout the life of the agreement
- Clear dispute resolution mechanism to save time and costs
What commercial agreements we build and lend
The firm advises a wide range of agreements: partnership agreements, founders agreements, service agreements, supplier agreements, distribution agreements, NDA, transaction agreements and complex B2B contracts. In each type of agreement, the emphasis is on personalization of the business model, the growth phase of the business and the level of risk accepted in the industry.
Critical clauses that must appear in a commercial contract
- Defining the service or product and detailed commitment scope
- Clear payment terms and deadlines
- Professional Liability and Balanced Liability Exceedings
- Confidentiality, privacy and information security according to the nature of the activity
- Intellectual Property: Ownership, Usage License and Transfer Restrictions
- Terms of termination of communication, prior notice and return
- Jurisdiction or Arbitration and Dispute Resolution Mechanism
Negotiating Contracts
Successful negotiations do not just focus on price. Sometimes the economic outcome is determined by the legal clauses: risk distribution, time, liability, and compensation in the event of a breach. Professional negotiation improves certainty, narrows expectations gaps, and prevents future disputes.
We build a negotiation strategy according to the client's goals: protection of flow, commercial stability, maintaining a long-term relationship with the other party, and reducing legal exposure.
What to do when a contract is broken
When a party violates a commitment, it is important to act quickly and in proper order: documenting the event, reviewing the provisions of the breach and remedies, sending legal notice and conducting a gradual process of enforcement or compensation. Many cases can be effectively resolved even before a full legal process, provided the contract is built correctly and keeps accurate documentation.

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!
