Administrative & Constitutional Law and Special Tribunals

Decisions of public authorities, national institutions and public organisations affect the rights and status of organisations and individuals. Administrative and constitutional law asks whether such decisions were made within authority, on a sufficient factual basis, after granting a right to be heard, and reasonably and proportionately. The firm represents organisations and individuals in proceedings before authorities and judicial bodies, including special tribunals that operate under their own constitution and rules — such as the Supreme Zionist Court of the World Zionist Organization.

How We Work

Examining the process itself: the right to be heard, the factual basis placed before the decision-maker and the propriety of the decision-making.

Working according to the constitution, by-laws and procedural rules specific to each tribunal.

Considering an agreed resolution alongside the legal proceedings, where this suits the client’s matter.
