About Alan Sacks

Alan arrived in Israel shortly after having qualified as a Solicitor in England, and since then has divided his practice between two main areas of corporate law and banking and finance.

In the area of M&A, Alan has been responsible for some of the largest and most significant transactions in Israel. Notable transactions include having represented the Bronfman Group in its acquisition and subsequent disposal of Koor Industries Ltd, at the time Israel’s largest industrial conglomerate; representing the Safra family of Brazil in their sale of a controlling interest in First International Bank and Cellcom Israel Ltd, Israel’s largest cellular telephone operator; representing the Hutchison Group of Hong Kong in its disposal of a controlling interest in Partner Communications Company Ltd; representing the Cerberus Group in its successful acquisition of a potential controlling block of shares in Bank Leumi L’Israel BM from the State of Israel; representing First International Bank in its acquisition of Investec Bank (now rebranded as UBank).

In the Banking and Finance sector, Alan’s cross-border expertise, as well as his familiarity with all aspects of banking regulation, have made him the leading practitioner in the international banking arena on all aspects of banking activity, including regulatory and licensing issues, syndicated cross-border lending, corporate finance, derivatives and other financial instruments and aircraft finance.

Alan has represented almost all of the major international financial institutions active in Israel. Alan represented a consortium of 26 international banks in the restructuring of the indebtedness of Koor Industries Ltd, Israel’s largest debt “workout” to date; Alan has acted on numerous occasions for Citibank, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Barclays Capital, RBS, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse and Ex-Im Bank, as well as Israel’s major banks in their international financing transactions.

Alan’s expertise in both the area of M&A and the banking sector have resulted in his having been involved in all major bank acquisitions in Israel over the last two decades.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
