   Sullivan & Worcester LLP

   Feb 2007 — Present

   ZAG/S&W is a joint venture Israeli-U.S. law firm with offices in Tel Aviv, Washington, D.C, New York, and Boston. It is the world\'s only true Israeli-American law firm committed to the success of Israeli and U.S. companies seeking to do business between each other\'s countries. ZAG/S&W was established in 2001 through a unique joint venture of its founding firms, Zysman, Aharoni, Gayer & Co.(ZAG) and Sullivan & Worcester LLP (S&W). ZAG/S&W is a law firm partnership—one entity—not a referral relationship. Our innovative business model enables us to provide completely integrated, cost-effective legal services, leveraging our experience on both sides of the Atlantic to help advance our clients\' objectives with maximum efficiency. But we do more than just provide legal services; we build business bridges for our clients, connecting them with the right players and the right resources to gain a competitive edge. For example, the firm\'s environment, energy, and natural resources practice group, which I lead, is a multi-disciplinary, cross-border practice that represents Israeli cleantech, renewable energy and energy efficiency, and water technology companies. Through our work in the Israeli market, together with a variety of strategic partners, we identify promising technologies and seek to match them with domestic and overseas partners. From finding licensees and distributors to locating venture capital to identifying an acquirer or a take-over target, we can help. That\'s why many of our clients view us not just as a legal resource, but as a business ally, committed to meeting their immediate legal needs while helping to facilitate their long-term growth.
