Ronen Setty

Our firm serves as a leading professional hub for resolving disputes outside the court system in Israel. Additionally, our office offers legal advice and support in various civil fields and specializes in the construction and infrastructure sectors.

Adv. Ronen Setty, who heads the firm, is one of Israel's leading figures in resolving disputes through arbitration and mediation processes. He serves as the Co-Chairman of the District Committee for Arbitration and Mediation at the Israel Bar Association, a member of the International Arbitration Committee at the ICC International Court of Arbitration in Paris, and as a commercial and international arbitrator and mediator. For over a decade, he has gained experience in managing hundreds of commercial, Israeli, and international mediation and arbitration proceedings. Adv. Setty is an initiator and partner in drafting and approving Amendment No. 2 to the Arbitration Law, 1968, which now allows for arbitration proceedings that include an appeal instance. The new law incorporates many of his professional positions and proposals that were approved in the legislative processes by the Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee of the Knesset.

A unique process implemented in our office is the Smart Dispute Resolution (SDR) process. Through this process, Adv. Setty and the professional team, in collaboration with attorneys and their clients, tailor a private path for resolving the dispute outside the court system from among 7 arbitration, mediation, early neutral evaluation paths, and more. Unlike the application of rigid and fixed arbitration rules, the SDR process paves the way for resolving disputes in an arbitration or other dispute resolution process that is tailor-made to the needs of the parties and the circumstances of the case. As Henry Ford said, "Instead of looking for the guilty, look for the remedy." This process is also applied for our clientele.

We would be happy to assist with this. You are welcome to contact our office.
