Elul occupies an unusual place in the Jewish calendar. It carries the feeling of a new beginning, although the new year has not yet arrived. It is a period of preparation, reflection, and some uncertainty about what lies ahead.
This year, that feeling resonates with me professionally.
I have always been hesitant to write on social media. Writing is personal to me. It expresses ideas, thoughts, feelings, and understanding that originate internally. Social media, by contrast, asks us to broadcast ourselves publicly. That tension has often kept my writing here to a minimum.
The time has come, however, to make a change.
With the support of friends and family, and especially Ilanit Liberman, I am pleased to announce the formal opening of Meir Liberman Law, an Israeli law practice providing legal counsel and representation in clear, fluent English.
For me, this step has been a long time in the making.
I made Aliyah from the United States in 2013 and built my life in Israel through study, work, military service, and family. Along the way, I completed my law degree at Tel Aviv University and my legal internship at Shurat HaDin, Israel Law Center.
Like so many Israelis in recent years, the path did not proceed exactly as planned. Since October 7, I have completed repeated periods of reserve duty while finishing my legal training, studying for the Israeli Bar Examination, and becoming a licensed Israeli attorney.
The journey reinforced something that has shaped the way I want to practise law. When someone faces a complicated legal matter, that person needs counsel who will understand the problem, explain the position clearly, and help identify a practical way forward.
That is what I want Meir Liberman Law to provide.
As a native English speaker and veteran oleh who has spent more than a decade building a life in Israel, I understand how intimidating Israeli legal and bureaucratic systems can feel, particularly when they must be navigated in a second language.
My goal is to provide English-speaking clients with clear legal guidance, straightforward communication, and personal, determined representation in Israel.
Alongside the opening of the practice, I have begun developing an English-language legal guide intended to make the process of purchasing property in Israel easier to understand. It is a substantial project, and I welcome thoughtful input, knowledge, and corrections as it develops.
I also want to thank Avi Guez, whose mentorship and guidance during and after my internship at Shurat HaDin helped shape me as a lawyer. Avi encouraged me to take this step and establish my own practice, and I am deeply grateful for his continued guidance and support.
This is the beginning of a new chapter, and I look forward to continuing the conversation.
