Our Story
From Founding to Recognition
Ne'eman Keynan & Co. was founded in 2011 by Guy Ne'eman and Lilach Keynan around three core practices: securities and capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate litigation. Many of the partners who joined in the years that followed are the same partners practicing together today.
Over the following decade, the firm's work earned independent recognition across a series of international and local rankings, while its practice expanded to include competition, financial regulation, and complex regulatory investigations.
That growth led the team to Herzog Fox & Neeman, one of Israel's largest firms. There, Guy Ne'eman headed White Collar and Special Solutions within the Litigation Department, while Lilach Keynan coordinated the firm's Special Solutions mandates.
By 2026, The Legal 500 EMEA ranked the team's White-Collar Crime, Investigations & Fraud practice Tier 1. Guy Ne'eman was named a Leading Partner and Practice Co-head, and all other partners on the team were individually recognized as Key Lawyers — placing the practice in the highest tier of its category.
A Data-Driven Practice
Long before artificial intelligence began reshaping legal practice, the team had already developed a distinctly data-driven approach. Its work combined advanced technologies and information-gathering systems with close cooperation with economists, consultants, and other specialists. Lilach Keynan was individually recognized for her expertise in data gathering and analysis, including the use of advanced technologies.
When artificial intelligence reached the point of transforming how complex legal work could be performed, the partners did not simply add it to a legacy structure. They left and rebuilt the firm around senior legal judgment, with technology embedded into every stage of the work.
The result is a deliberately designed operating model: a focused senior team, direct partner involvement, and proprietary infrastructure, without unnecessary layers between legal judgment, the client, and the work.
The Firm Today
Today, the firm operates on this lean, partner-led model rather than a traditional associate-heavy pyramid. Its proprietary infrastructure includes the CIDAH platform, operating under the professional direction of the firm's dedicated Chief AI Officer, Prof. Barak Orbach.
Ne'eman Keynan & Co. is Israel's first true AI-native law firm: a senior, ranked team built from the ground up to combine top-tier legal judgment with proprietary technology.
The firm is designed for matters in which the stakes are high, the facts are complex, and the right decision cannot be delegated. For clients, this means direct access to senior lawyers, faster analysis of complex records, deeper strategic insight, and a clearer picture when critical decisions need to be made.
Our Way
Our Approach
Built for High-Stakes Decisions
Our model is designed for matters in which legal, commercial, regulatory, and reputational consequences converge — often under significant time pressure and across large or fragmented bodies of information.
These matters require senior judgment from the outset: the ability to understand the full picture, test competing narratives, identify risk early, and determine the right course of action.
Partner-Led by Design
Every matter is led directly by a partner. The work is not handed down through multiple layers of junior lawyers, and responsibility is not diluted through a traditional pyramid.
The partner leading the matter remains directly accountable for its strategy, analysis, and execution — from the first call through final resolution.
Technology That Serves Judgment
Our technology exists to strengthen professional judgment, not replace it.
The CIDAH platform and the firm's broader proprietary infrastructure enable our partners to review complex records faster, connect information across multiple sources, and identify relevant patterns, relationships, and inconsistencies earlier.
Speed, however, is not an end in itself. The purpose of the technology is to produce a fuller and clearer picture sooner — so that risks can be identified earlier, alternatives assessed more thoroughly, and critical decisions made with greater confidence.
The technology operates within controlled professional workflows designed around confidentiality, verification, and human accountability. Every substantive conclusion remains a partner's own.
Commercial Judgment
Our litigators think commercially. Their experience in transactions and deal-making enables them to approach disputes within the client's broader commercial reality, rather than treating litigation as an isolated exercise.
We advise on corporate, securities, competition, and regulatory matters as they are actually decided — in boardrooms, before regulators, and in court.
Our objective is not merely to produce legal analysis, but to understand what each decision means for the client and shape the legal strategy accordingly.
Strategic Accountability
We are uncompromising in protecting the client's interests. But effective advocacy is not measured by volume, aggression, or escalation for its own sake. It is measured by judgment.
That means knowing when to press, when to narrow the issue, when to escalate, and when a different course will better protect the client's position.
Every strategic decision is tested against the client's objectives, risk exposure, and broader commercial reality. The partner leading the matter remains accountable for keeping the legal strategy aligned with those interests throughout.
