A written exposure map
Before strategy is set, you receive a claim-by-claim assessment: the legal test, the evidence on each side, and a realistic range of outcomes.
Aun & Co. represents companies and individuals in commercial litigation before Israeli courts, from the Magistrates' Courts to the Supreme Court.
Litigation at Aun & Co. is the representation of companies, shareholders and individuals in civil and commercial disputes before Israeli courts, including the Supreme Court. It is for parties who face a claim, need to bring one, or must protect assets while a dispute is decided. An engagement opens with a full read of the file, a written assessment of exposure and leverage, and a plan that runs from first pleading to judgment or negotiated exit.
The firm prepares every matter as if it will be argued. The opposing party's own exhibits are read first — admissions against interest usually decide cases before witnesses do. A dated timeline and a claim-by-claim exposure map are built early, so settlement decisions rest on numbers, not on pressure. One advocate carries the file end to end.

The lawyer who signs the pleadings reads every exhibit and argues the hearings. Nothing is delegated past the point of accountability.
Hebrew, Arabic and English handled natively — contracts, correspondence and testimony are read in the language they were written in.
Every offer is measured against the exposure map and the cost of the road ahead, so a compromise is a decision, not a relief.

Most commercial cases in Israeli courts run two to four years to a first-instance judgment, depending on the court and the evidence stage. Interim relief can be obtained within days, and many matters resolve at or after the pre-trial conference.
A statement of defence is generally due within 60 days of service under the Civil Procedure Regulations; fast-track claims allow less. Court recesses can affect the count, but the safe course is to treat the date of service as the start of a hard clock.
Partly. Israeli courts routinely order the losing party to pay costs and counsel fees, but awarded amounts often sit below actual fees. Cost exposure is therefore priced into strategy from the first assessment, not discovered at judgment.
A reading of the pleadings and key exhibits, a note on deadlines already running, a claim-by-claim view of exposure and leverage, and a recommended course — litigate, settle or hold. It is delivered in writing and is the basis for every step after.
