About Yaron Meiri, Adv. & CPA: licences, education and the 2026 election petitions
Two licences, one point of view
Most of the files that reach this practice are, in the end, a legal question resting on a set of numbers: a class action over an overcharge, a wage dispute, a breached contract, a charge that kept running after a subscription was cancelled. In matters that turn on charges, wages or financial statements, the accounting review is done as part of the legal work.
The practice is independent and deliberately small. The person you met at the first meeting is the person who carries the file.
Practice areas
Six areas, one office. Where a page below is marked "Hebrew", the detailed page exists only in Hebrew — the work itself is done in either language. See all six areas on one page, with a short Q&A for each →
Class actions and consumer claims
A single consumer overcharged by a few shekels will never go to court. Eight hundred thousand of them, overcharged in the same way — together, that is exactly the situation the Class Actions Law, 5766-2006 (חוק תובענות ייצוגיות, התשס״ו-2006) was designed for, and it is a central tool for consumers facing large companies. The practice assesses whether a case supports certification, prepares and files the certification motion, runs the proceeding through to settlement or judgment, and also defends businesses that find themselves on the receiving end of one.

Subscription cancellation and recovery of charges
Israeli law treats a continuing transaction — a gym membership, a streaming service, a communications package — as something a consumer must be able to walk away from cleanly. Where charges keep running after cancellation, sections 13D and 31A of the Consumer Protection Law, 5741-1981 (חוק הגנת הצרכן, התשמ״א-1981) provide both a refund and statutory damages that do not require proof of loss. It is a small claim per consumer and a systemic problem in aggregate, which is exactly why it recurs. Subscription cancellation and recovery of charges in Israel →
Employment law
Claims over unpaid wages, withheld severance and unlawful dismissal are heard in Israel's Regional Labour Courts. The statutory floor cannot be contracted out of: an employee who signs away overtime, severance or annual leave has not validly waived anything, because the statute overrides the contract. The practice acts for employees and for employers, in the Labour Courts and in mediation, and its accounting side matters here more than anywhere — wage claims are won and lost on payslips, attendance records and arithmetic.

Digital commerce and artificial intelligence
The moment you sell to an Israeli consumer, Israeli consumer law applies to you — even if your servers are elsewhere. Online stores need terms of use and a privacy policy that are actually accessible before purchase, prices inclusive of VAT, and a working 14-day cancellation right. Businesses deploying AI face no dedicated Israeli AI statute, but tort law, contract law and the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981 (חוק הגנת הפרטיות, התשמ״א-1981) apply to an automated decision exactly as they apply to a human one.

Commercial contracts
Drafting, review and negotiation of commercial agreements, founders' agreements and service agreements — read with a legal eye and a financial one at the same time. A payment mechanism, an earn-out or a termination formula is a commercial model expressed in words, and the two readings tend to catch different problems. Commercial contracts under Israeli law →
Defamation and reputation
Protecting the good name of individuals and businesses, in court and online: defamation claims, invasion of privacy, and the removal of damaging content. Reputational damage moves quickly on Israeli social media, and the useful response is usually the fast one. Defamation and reputation law in Israel →

How a matter runs
The first conversation is an assessment, not a pitch: what happened, what documents already exist, what the legal position and the possible routes are, and whether the matter is worth pursuing at all. A good proportion of enquiries end there, with a straight answer that there is nothing worth bringing — which is better for everyone than finding out two years later. Where there is a case, the next step is usually a documented demand rather than a filing, because a well-evidenced letter defines the dispute and puts the other side's position on record before any filing. Where proceedings are needed, they are prepared on primary sources: the statutory text, the case law and the other side's own records.
The route here
Yaron began his professional life in accounting — a bachelor's degree in business administration majoring in accounting, and qualification as a certified public accountant, after working at accounting firms. Alongside that he completed an Executive MBA, and afterwards a bachelor's degree in law and qualification as an advocate. Even before opening the practice he ran consumer claims himself, among them claims under section 30A of the Communications (Telecommunications and Broadcasts) Law, 5742-1982 (חוק התקשורת (בזק ושידורים), התשמ״ב-1982) — Israel's anti-spam provision — against senders of unsolicited advertising messages. The focus on consumer rights and class actions grew out of that experience.
Working with English-speaking clients
The practice works in Hebrew and English. Israeli statutes, pleadings and judgments are in Hebrew, and the Hebrew text always governs; what an English-speaking client needs is someone who can read that text, explain precisely what it requires, and conduct the proceeding. Foreign companies selling to Israeli consumers, employees relocating to or from Israel, founders signing an Israeli-law agreement and journalists reporting on Israeli public law all run into the same gap, and this section of the site exists to close part of it.
