Shibolet’s Real Estate Practice brings deep expertise in real estate financing. We advise clients through all stages of complex financing transactions, as well as the financing aspects of broader real estate transactions. Our work covers various forms of credit, such as cash facilities, guarantees under Israel’s Sale Law (Apartments) and other guarantees.
We act on both sides of the table, in Israel and abroad. We represent lenders, including banks, insurance companies, institutional investors, private credit funds and other business entities, and we represent borrowers such as developers, contractors and purchasing groups. Whether the funds are for land acquisition, bridge financing or the construction phase, seeing transactions from both perspectives gives us a clear view of what each party needs and how to get the deal done.
Our partners and lawyers have advised Israel’s leading financial institutions on transactions worth billions of shekels, covering tens of thousands of residential units and extensive office space. Drawing on broad, multidisciplinary experience, we design financing structures around each client’s commercial objectives.
An integrated, full-service approach
Working hand in hand with the firm’s Banking & Finance and Capital Markets practices, we support clients throughout the transaction lifecycle, from due diligence, negotiating and documenting financing arrangements, and structuring and perfecting security packages, to advising on regulatory and related matters.
Our clients
Beyond financing, Shibolet’s strategic clients across the real estate sector include leading Israeli and international developers, real estate and construction companies, public and private companies, manufacturers, private investment groups, landlords and tenants, Israel’s major local authorities and government companies.
