History

Haim Zadok & Co. was founded in 1958 by Haim Yosef Zadok, described as one of Israel's leading lawyers.[1][2][3]. Zadok served as Israel's Minister of Justice,[4] Minister of Industry and Trade, and Minister of Religion. In 1993, he was elected president of the Israel Press Council.[5]

In 1989, the firm, with its founder representing it, argued to the Knesset Economic Committee that cigarette advertising does not encourage youngsters to start smoking.[6][7]

In 1990, the firm represented Bank Leumi in a dispute with its former Chairman and CEO, Ernest Japhet, charging that Japhet caused the bank millions of shekels in damage by signing extraordinary personal contracts with a number of senior executives.[8] In 2000 the firm represented United Steel Mills as a court-appointed trustee to sell the company.[9]

In 2001 the firm represented Time, Inc. in the case of Sharon vs. Time Inc., in which Sharon contended that TIME magazine libeled him in a paragraph in its 1983 cover story about the 1982 killing of hundreds of Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in West Beirut.[10][11] In 2007 the firm represented Bank Hapoalim in litigation against the imploding property development company Heftsiba.[12]

Ilan Shavit-Stricks is Haim Zadok & Co.'s Senior and Managing Partner. The firm's of-counsel was Advocate Dan Meridor, a former Minister of Justice and Minister of Intelligence and Atomic Energy. It was announced in November 2009 that he and Shavit will face a disciplinary proceeding of the Israel Bar Association for writing an illegal fee contract with Arcadi Gaydamak.[13]
