n Government Contracts and Construction Law

Zell, Goldberg attorneys have distinguished themselves in the field of international government procurement law, where our practice encompasses both pre-award and post-award transactions and dispute resolution.

Our attorneys, both in Israel and in the United States, are highly experienced in preparing and prosecuting bid protests and post-award claims in Israel and abroad. In this area we have acted regularly for, among others, transportation, land administration and environmental agencies of the Israeli government in preparing international tender documentation.

Our attorneys have also acted for such multinational concerns as a major U.S.-based defence contractor, a major U.S.-based technology company in connection with public contracts issued by Israeli authorities, and international construction firms in connection with major infrastructure projects now under way. Our attorneys are also actively involved in providing procurement law assistance to foreign and domestic contractors on major infrastructure projects including the Ben Gurion Airport 2000 project.

We provide counsel on foreign military sales transactions under U.S. and Israeli law. Expertise in the procurement area covers such issues as equitable adjustments for actual and constructive changes, cost accounting and audit issues, bi-national issues, application of the WTO-GATT agreement on government procurement, protection of technology rights in government contracts, ethics in government contracting and foreign corrupt practices compliance, default termination and termination for convenience issues, disputes clause questions and many others.

In 1997 – 1998 members of our legal staff were selected by the European Commission to write the Israel chapter in a handbook on international procurement to be published by the European Union for European businesses. Our attorneys have recently completed a chapter on Israeli procurement law scheduled to appear in a forthcoming international treatise on government procurement law to be published by Oceana Publications.
