Cooperative Societies

The team of attorneys at Ben Ari Fish, Law Firm, has acquired unique expertise in the field of cooperative societies.

The attorneys in the cooperative societies team have special expertise and experience providing ongoing legal counselling and conducting legal proceedings at all levels of the law governing cooperative societies, particularly in all matters relating to Moshavim and Kibbutzim.

The team has unique experience representing groups of individuals about to join expansions that increase the number of members of an existing cooperative society, as well as accompanying cooperative societies in the process of integrating new members, aiming to ensure optimal execution of the process with respect to the various state authorities, while ensuring the integration of the new members in the unique relationship characterizing every cooperative society. The team specializes in providing a holistic response at times of crisis, taking into account such unique relationship.

The team’s attorneys guide the relevant officers in performing their duties, and provide legal advice regarding their ongoing management as well as in times of conflict, including negotiating a compromise in appropriate cases and, if so required, representation in the various courts as well as in arbitrations.

Nowadays, the firm’s team accompanies members of an expansion neighborhood of about 120 residential units,  dealing with all the local authorities, including the cooperative society, so as to enable them to build their homes as quickly as possible while advancing all the required arrangements that will allow for proper communal life in the communal space. This legal representation includes both accompanying in legal, administrative and civil proceedings as well as providing ongoing legal representation and legal response to any changing need arising along the way.
