Investigations, Hearings, and Inquiry Committees


Overview

Wide Range of Investigations and Legal Proceedings

Goldfarb Gross Seligman’s seasoned attorneys bring to the table many years’ experience in representing clients under investigation as part of hearings, inquiry committees, investigations, and various legal proceedings.
Discretely and professionally, we have become a prime destination for senior figures from the public and private sectors in Israel, including executives from multinationals operating in Israel, who face a raft of alleged offenses, including securities, taxation, antitrust, and money laundering violations. We also manage cases involving fraud, bribery, negligence, environmental offenses, national security, and corporate misconduct. We command the respect and trust of our clients by prioritizing the safeguarding of their privacy while delivering top-tier legal services at every stage of these sensitive proceedings.

Trusted in Government and Military Inquiry Committees

Our firm has sweeping experience representing senior officials in sensitive government and military inquiries. Notable cases include the investigation into the Cave of the Patriarchs Massacre, the Shamgar Commission on the assassination of Prime Minister Rabin, the IDF Flotilla and Helicopter Disasters, and the Or Committee’s review of events during the Second Intifada. Additionally, we represented clients before the Zailer Committee, which investigated the conduct of Israel’s senior police chiefs. Beyond these, we have provided counsel in other national security and extradition hearings, consistently achieving successful outcomes in complex, high-stakes legal matters.

Preventive Legal Counsel and Corporate Governance

We proactively advise on preventing the launch of investigations or legal actions in the first place. Our attorneys represent corporations, executives, and individuals in corporate governance, as well as internal investigations and enforcement procedures, driven by the need to minimize the impact of these processes on our clients’ operations, ensure compliance, and protect their interests throughout.
