What Goldfarb Seligman & Co does

Goldfarb Seligman & Co (also operating as Goldfarb Gross Seligman) is one of Israel's largest full-service law firms, founded in 1930 and headquartered in Tel Aviv with an additional international office in Zurich, Switzerland. The firm employs approximately 500 attorneys, including more than 200 partners, organized across 20 practice areas covering Corporate and Capital Markets (M&A, securities, investment funds), Hi-Tech and Technology (venture capital, cybersecurity, fintech, AI, blockchain, life sciences), Litigation, Real Estate, Tax, Banking and Finance, Intellectual Property and Privacy, Energy and Projects, Labor Law, and Environmental Law and Sustainability. It serves a diversified client base that includes large corporations, public companies, government entities, financial institutions, venture capital funds, and over 1,000 startups across 20 verticals, with named engagements including the representation of Google in the landmark Google-Wiz acquisition and ServiceNow in the $7.75 billion Armis acquisition.

The firm's underlying product is professional legal services rather than technology. No proprietary software, APIs, or technology platform is offered; instead, value is delivered through attorney expertise, partner-led engagement, and accumulated precedents across 90+ years. Revenue is generated through professional services fees structured as hourly billing, fixed fees for defined matters, and transaction-based fees for M&A, capital markets, and other corporate work. Go-to-market relies on direct partner-led enterprise engagement, professional reputation reinforced by analyst rankings (Chambers Global, Legal 500, BDI, Dun's 100), client referrals, thought leadership publications, and a modest social media presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. The firm is privately held as a partnership with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or subsidiaries.
