In response to the escalating violence in Israel and Palestine, legal professionals of international law firms are exhibiting resilience and resourcefulness. Lawyers from firms with local offices, like Greenberg Traurig and CMS, are reportedly working remotely, ensuring the safety of their workforce.
Greenberg Traurig, which operates one of the largest offices amongst international law firms in Israel, stated that their lawyers in Tel Aviv are safe and working from home. This shift comes as Tel Aviv, home to 19 of the firm’s legal professionals, fell under target by the militant group Hamas.
While the circumstances are challenging, other global firms are also doing their part by offering support to those affected. The significant impact of these conflicts on hundreds of lives in recent days has elicited this collective response from the global legal industry. The quick transition to remote work and the display of solidarity underpins their commitment to ensuring uninterrupted legal service during these testing times.
