About

Andrew Treitel is a veteran attorney with more than 20 years' experience. 
He specializes in Inheritance Law, Trusts & Estates, Private Client Law, Elder Law, Corporate Law, Real Estate and Non-Profit Law. Andrew is admitted to the Bar in Israel and in New York.

Andrew Treitel is known for his personal touch, his close and long-term relationships with clients (even if they only come once for a one-time consultation), for the high quality of his services, for his attentiveness to detail and to the client's needs, and for his responsiveness and quick turnaround time.

Located in the heart of Tel Aviv -Yafo, in the picturesque and historic Benin House building (but often meeting clients in Jerusalem, Ra'anana, Modiin and elsewhere), Andrew Treitel, Adv. Law Office and Notary provides comprehensive and tailored legal services to private clients and their related businesses. 

Our clients include Israeli citizens resident in Israel who own assets in Israel (and often abroad), Olim (new immigrants) to Israel, U.S. residents who own assets in Israel, Israeli and U.S. companies and Israeli non-profit organizations.
We serve our private clients by listening to the clients to understand their concerns and needs, by focusing on the core issues, by considering the various alternatives and then – together with the clients - implementing our plan to reach their goals. 

When needed to maximize the solution for the client, we consult with a network of professionals in Israel and abroad, representing various specialties including tax advisors, lawyers, and financial advisors, as needed.

In addition to providing private client legal services, we are often asked to advise and undertake additional and complementary work, including the provision of services in the fields of corporate and real estate law.
