Jacob Enoch is a partner at M. Firon & Co., heading the firm’s mergers and acquisitions practice.
A vastly experienced attorney with multidisciplinary education and experience, Jacob takes pride in his capacity to examine a legal and business matter in all thoroughness, often becoming an essential member of his clients’ strategic steering committees by virtue of this trait.
With over two decades of rich experience at the forefront of Israel’s mergers and acquisitions arena, Jacob has managed some of the most significant M&A transactions in the Israeli market, valued at billions of dollars. He is extremely accomplished at planning and executing intricate mergers, acquisitions and corporate restructuring and investment transactions as well as in handling complex corporate finance issues. ”The Best” magazine of the “Ma’ariv” daily newspaper has named him as one of Israel’s most prominent M&A attorneys.
Jacob has an extraordinary expertise in advising on M&A transactions of an international nature. His clients include foreign enterprises in their Israeli dealings, as well as Israeli companies in their international transactions. Jacob’s experience includes managing transactions in North, South and Central America, Eastern and Western Europe, Asia and Africa.
Furthermore, Jacob is a seasoned, top-rated litigator who has handled some of the most complex commercial disputes of the last decade in Israel. He represents the country’s largest and most prominent enterprises and is immensely skilled at appearing before all instances of the Israeli courts, including the Supreme Court, as well as in managing arbitrations and mediations. Additionally, Jacob is considered one of only a few world class international arbitration experts in Israel. He has uncommon experience in representing leading clients in assorted international arbitration proceedings, including arbitration under the auspices and rules of the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC (International Chamber of Commerce). Moreover, he serves as an arbitrator and a mediator, both locally and internationally.
On top of his noteworthy proficiency in the legal sphere, Jacob has an in-depth business understanding, emanating from his commercial experience and education, which stray from the world of law and which grant him technological, financial and accounting knowledge. Formerly, he had worked as an investment banker at Salomon Smith Barney (Citibank) in Manhattan and as a deputy CEO of a medical technology company that operates in Israel and in the US. In the framework of his legal practice, Jacob leverages this rich, accumulated experience and the expertise he had acquired in finance and accounting throughout his graduate studies (Magna Cum Laude).
Jacob is highly acclaimed by international and Israeli legal ranking guides (including Chambers, The Legal 500, IFLR 1000, BDI, D&B) who for many years have been regularly recognizing him as one of Israel’s top M&A and litigation attorneys. He is hailed as a leading individual by The Legal 500, in both M&A and International Arbitration.
Additionally, Jacob is an adjunct lecturer at the Buchman Faculty of Law at the Tel Aviv University, where he teaches a simulated transaction course, allowing students to actively experience legal handling of a transaction.
Jacob is also a member of the ICC Commission on Arbitration and ADR. The Commission on Arbitration and ADR, comprising representatives from 92 countries, is ICC’s rule-making body and unique think tank in the field of international dispute resolution. The commission drafts and revises the various ICC rules for dispute resolution, including the ICC Rules of Arbitration, the ICC ADR Rules, the ICC Dispute Board Rules, and the ICC Rules for Expertise.
