"We initially chose to work with them due to their strong reputation in the market, their commercial and business-oriented approach, and their proven experience in cross-border transactions. From the outset, they demonstrated not only deep legal expertise but also a pragmatic, solutions-driven mindset that aligns well with the needs of a private equity fund. The EBN team is one of the most well-rounded and responsive legal teams we have worked with. They have a strong team and the ability to cover all aspects of a transaction, including real estate, regulation, tax, project finance, labor law, and corporate finance. What sets them apart is the coordination across departments, which creates a seamless client experience. The partners are hands-on and truly integrated into the team bringing not just legal advice, but real commercial insight.

"Our primary contact at EBN is Lior Oren, who specializes in cross-border M&A, and was recently appointed Managing Partner of EBN. He is an exceptional legal advisor and a true partner in every sense and an integral part of our team whenever legal needs arise. Lior brings strategic thinking, commercial sensitivity, and excellent coordination skills. Lior is very accessible and easy to work with. He's a good sport and very friendly. At the same time, he can be tough and stick to his gun during negotiations and is generally an aggressive negotiator which we find useful. He is very attentive, and at some point needed him to join us on an important trip to Dubai and he joined willfully on a very short notice and was extremely instrumental in such meeting and in the process as a whole. He is a good friend of the fund and we are very fortunate to have Lior on our side.
