"Unlike many of Israel’s largest full-service firms which are pursuing a ‘bigger is better’ strategy, three-partner Epstein Rosenblum Maoz (ERM) is focused on developing its reputation in a handful of core areas such as corporate and finance. Though the firm’s overall reputation for banking and finance work is currently stronger than its reputation for advice to clients on large or complex M&A transactions, the firm has nevertheless become increasingly visible in the market for corporate matters. Recent highlights include advising Taya Communications, the Israeli media company, on UK aspects of its $13m acquisition of a 50% stake in Welltrade Services Limited and C2 Media (UK) Limited. Clients say ‘the firm is highly professional, communicative, fast to respond and a pleasure to work with, with a unique combination of excellent skills and great interpersonal relations.’ Name partners Nimrod Rosenblum and Gilad Maoz are recommended."
