Real estate has always been more than a legal discipline — it is the foundation of business, investment, and community growth.
At DNH Israel, our Real Estate and Property Law practice provides clients with the full spectrum of legal, strategic, and financial services across all aspects of real estate acquisition, development, financing, and operation.
Our approach combines meticulous legal execution with strategic business insight — built on years of experience advising developers, investors, and property owners on complex, high-value transactions in Israel and abroad.
Led by Adv. Udi Danhirsh, who brings a unique dual background as both a lawyer and investment banker, the firm provides clients with an integrated perspective that unites law, finance, and strategy.
Comprehensive Real Estate Expertise
We represent a wide range of clients — from private developers and institutional investors to high-net-worth individuals and family offices — in all property-related matters, including:
• Acquisition and sale of real estate assets
• Development, construction, and zoning
• Joint ventures and partnership structures
• Real estate financing and securitization
• Leasing and property management
• Urban renewal and redevelopment projects
• Regulatory compliance and environmental matters
• Real estate litigation and dispute resolution
Our goal is simple: to turn real estate from an asset into an engine of value creation.
Acquisition, Development, and Structuring
We advise clients throughout the entire development lifecycle — from initial site acquisition to final delivery.
Our lawyers conduct detailed due diligence to identify potential legal, planning, and regulatory risks; structure joint ventures and development agreements; and negotiate with landowners, contractors, and financiers.
We have particular expertise in mixed-use, commercial, and residential projects, including urban renewal (TAMA 38, Pinui-Binui), hotel developments, industrial zones, and logistics centers.
Our understanding of planning and zoning frameworks — combined with strong relationships with municipal authorities and planning committees — allows us to expedite approvals and reduce bureaucratic delays.
In every deal, we focus not only on legal compliance but on economic logic — structuring transactions that align investor interests, manage risk, and enhance long-term value.
Real Estate Finance and Investment Structuring
Real estate is capital-intensive. The success of every project depends on sound financial structuring and access to capital.
Thanks to Udi Danhirsh’s background in investment banking, DNH Israel is uniquely positioned to bridge the legal and financial worlds.
We advise on all aspects of real estate financing, including bank loans, mezzanine financing, private equity investment, and bond issuances.
Through our associated investment platform, DKR2 Capital, we assist clients in raising capital, identifying financial partners, and structuring joint ventures between developers and institutional investors.
This rare integration of legal expertise and financial execution allows our firm to act as a strategic partner rather than a passive legal advisor — helping clients design, fund, and deliver complex property projects from end to end.
Mergers, Acquisitions, and Corporate Real Estate Transactions
The real estate industry is increasingly shaped by consolidation and strategic partnerships.
We advise investors, real estate groups, and family offices on M&A transactions involving property portfolios, REITs, and corporate acquisitions with significant real estate components.
Our firm handles every stage — from due diligence and structuring to negotiation, regulatory approvals, and post-closing integration.
Because we understand both the asset and the corporate context, we are able to structure deals that optimize tax efficiency, maintain flexibility, and align with investor objectives.
We also represent retail and hospitality chains in property acquisitions and sale-and-leaseback transactions, combining our knowledge of real estate with the firm’s strong presence in the retail and franchise sectors.
Real Estate Development Partnerships and Joint Ventures
Many of Israel’s most successful developments are built on partnerships — between landowners, developers, investors, and financiers.
Our firm structures and negotiates joint development agreements, limited partnerships, and special-purpose vehicles (SPVs) tailored to each project’s financing and operational model.
We ensure that every agreement clearly defines capital contributions, profit-sharing, management rights, and exit mechanisms — reducing potential conflicts and safeguarding returns.
Our team also advises on the establishment of real estate investment funds and syndication structures for large-scale projects.
Leasing, Management, and Operations
We represent both landlords and tenants in complex leasing transactions involving commercial centers, office buildings, logistics facilities, and industrial parks.
Our services cover the drafting and negotiation of lease agreements, renewal and termination procedures, and property management arrangements.
We understand that leases are not just contracts — they are long-term partnerships.
We help clients structure flexible, performance-based arrangements that balance control and cooperation, ensuring operational stability and profitability throughout the property’s lifecycle.
Regulatory Compliance and Environmental Quality
Real estate is subject to extensive regulation in Israel, from municipal licensing to environmental protection.
Our firm advises on business licensing, environmental permits, waste and pollution regulation, and building-code compliance.
We represent clients before regulatory authorities and environmental agencies, helping them secure approvals and respond to enforcement actions.
In recent years, environmental and sustainability considerations have become central to investment decisions.
We assist developers and investors in implementing ESG-compliant policies, ensuring that projects meet international sustainability standards — an increasingly important factor in attracting institutional funding.
Dispute Resolution and Real Estate Litigation
Real estate disputes can be complex, high-stakes, and emotionally charged.
Our litigation team represents developers, landowners, and investors in disputes related to development agreements, title claims, lease enforcement, construction defects, and joint venture conflicts.
We combine deep legal knowledge with strategic understanding of project dynamics, enabling us to resolve disputes efficiently while preserving business relationships.
Where litigation is necessary, we act decisively to protect our clients’ rights, investments, and reputations.
