About the Collaboration OIKONOMAKIS LAW is an established Greek law firm with an international practice focused on cross-border and multi-jurisdictional legal matters involving individuals, companies, investors and institutions across multiple jurisdictions. The Firm’s Managing Partner, Christos Oikonomakis, is a Greek-qualified lawyer and is registered in Israel as a foreign lawyer. Within the applicable Israeli regulatory framework governing foreign lawyers, Mr. Oikonomakis provides legal services in Israel concerning Greek law, within the scope permitted by his professional qualification and foreign-lawyer registration. His status as a registered foreign lawyer does not authorize him to practice Israeli law. OIKONOMAKIS LAW is therefore seeking to establish an independent professional collaboration with an experienced Israeli lawyer based in Tel Aviv or the wider Tel Aviv District who can independently undertake the Israeli-law components of cross-border matters handled by Mr. Oikonomakis and the Firm. Nature of the Opportunity This is not an employment position. We are inviting proposals for an independent professional collaboration between OIKONOMAKIS LAW / Christos Oikonomakis and an Israeli legal practitioner or independent Israeli legal practice. The participating lawyers and legal practices will remain fully: * professionally independent; * legally and scientifically independent; * financially independent; * organizationally independent; and * corporately independent. Each lawyer or legal practice will remain independently responsible for: * the legal advice and services provided by them; * compliance with the professional and regulatory framework applicable to their own practice; * professional conduct requirements; * professional liability and insurance arrangements applicable to them; * their own professional decisions and legal opinions; and * the conduct of those parts of each matter falling within their respective professional qualification and authorization. The collaboration may operate on a case-by-case, referral, co-counsel and/or continuing professional collaboration basis depending upon the nature and volume of cross-border matters. Scope of Collaboration Cross-border matters may involve circumstances where Mr Oikonomakis provides advice concerning Greek law while the same transaction, dispute or client matter simultaneously raises issues of Israeli law. In such circumstances, the selected Israeli lawyer may be independently instructed to undertake the relevant Israeli-law workstream. This may include, where appropriate: * advising on Israeli law; * preparing Israeli legal opinions; * identifying Israeli-law implications arising from cross-border matters; * drafting and reviewing contracts governed by Israeli law; * corporate and commercial matters; * company and investment matters; * civil and commercial disputes; * litigation and dispute resolution; * recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments; * arbitration and alternative dispute resolution; * property and real estate matters; * immigration and residency matters; * inheritance and succession matters; * family and private client matters involving Greece and Israel; * banking and regulatory matters; * dealings with Israeli public authorities, registries and institutions; * representation before Israeli courts, tribunals or authorities where professionally appropriate; * negotiations with Israeli counterparties; * conducting Israeli legal research; * preparing Israeli-law memoranda and procedural documentation; and * cooperating with Greek and other international counsel on multi-jurisdictional matters. The objective is to provide clients with coordinated and efficient cross-border assistance while ensuring a clear division between Greek-law legal services and Israeli-law legal services.
