AFIK & Co. is a well-respected international business law firm based in Tel Aviv, Israel with a reputation for quality, innovation, and teamwork.

We asked their partner, Doron Afik, to answer our questions about the legal sector.

In your opinion, what is the future for your profession?
I believe business lawyers, and especially international business lawyers like ourselves, will need to be more and more business-oriented and more and more interdisciplinary. Our goal in the office is to ensure that our team fits such a description.

What is your growth strategy?
We are always looking for good lawyers and partners to join our firm and/or other law firms of similar business strategy and quality as our firm.

Where do you see your firm 5 years from now?
I believe we will slowly grow, as we always make sure that each new lawyer is well adapted to our firm’s standards so as to ensure that all our clients receive the best quality of service.

What is your biggest challenge?
Finding good people is always a challenge.

What percentage of your work is international?
Today about 40% of our work is international.

What business advisory services do you offer?
We escort clients in their day to day business but we are legal advisors and not business advisors. Nevertheless, our clients enjoy our vast experience.

What was your main driver for being part of BOKS International?
We are always looking for new international connections and wish to be able to cooperate with firms worldwide.

Where do you see BOKS International 5 years from now?
I believe it should have more international locations but keep its high standards.

How would you describe your typical client?
A business client, from startups to big international companies.

Tell us about a recent international assignment

How do you target clients who are looking for international services?
