A year after Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel, law firms in the Middle East, particularly in Israel and Lebanon, are navigating the challenges brought by the escalating conflict. Greenberg Traurig in Israel marked the anniversary with a moment of silence while continuing operations despite the emotional strain on staff, many of whom have family members in the military. The Tel Aviv office has maintained profitability, handling cross-border work, and actively contributing to humanitarian efforts. In Lebanon, law firms face deteriorating conditions as bombings disrupt daily operations. Elias Chedid, managing partner at Chedid Law Offices in Beirut, noted that while the firm continues to function, hybrid work has become necessary. Other firms report reduced client activity and unpredictable work environments. Psychological stress, such as fear from nearby bombings, has affected employees’ ability to work. Despite the challenges, firms are adjusting billing practices, offering flexible payments, and considering possible relocation if the situation worsens.
