High-Tech Employees
Discreet legal support for high-tech employees and managers — from reviewing the contract and options before you join, through hearing and termination support, to ongoing strategic advice for current employees.
Three stages where we stand beside you
Every stage of a high-tech career has its own legal questions. We support each of them, with full discretion.
- 01
Before you join
Reviewing the employment contract and the option terms before you sign — to understand the fine print and the real value of the offer.
- 02
Hearing & termination
Support through hearing and termination — understanding your rights, examining whether the process was proper, and dealing with the employer.
- 03
For current employees
Ongoing strategic advice for employees and managers — non-compete, changes to terms, exercising options and protecting your rights over time.
Signals worth checking
General information only; each case is examined on its circumstances and subject to legal review.
- A “global” salary is not unlimited — the employer is usually still required to keep attendance records, and extreme hours may justify reviewing overtime.
- A broad non-compete clause is not necessarily enforceable — labor courts tend to narrow such clauses, but each case is examined on its facts and subject to legal review.
- Cutting options or a material change to terms without consent may arguably indicate a worsening of conditions; it is worth checking before you respond.
- Termination close to a cliff or a down-round may raise questions of good faith and equity realization, subject to legal review.
- Monitoring a remote employee (bossware) and non-reimbursement of expenses may raise privacy and rights questions, and warrant review.
- A relocation contract may cut you off from Israeli rights (such as severance) — it is important to check the “center of gravity” test before signing.

An annual plan for high-tech employees
An annual plan can include periodic contract review, quick answers to questions during the year, and a benefit for representation in a hearing or the labor court. You are welcome to contact us for details and a tailored fit — this page is not a binding offer.
Frequently asked questions
I received a hearing notice — what should I do?
It is advisable not to respond hastily or sign anything before review. Document the circumstances and consult promptly, since the hearing process and how you handle it may affect your rights. This is general information and not a substitute for individual advice.
Is the non-compete I signed valid?
Broad non-compete clauses are not necessarily enforceable, and courts tend to narrow them — but validity depends on the circumstances (trade secret, dedicated consideration, scope and duration) and is subject to individual legal review.
I was dismissed close to an option-vesting date — does it matter?
Termination close to a vesting date may raise questions of good faith and equity realization, but every case is examined on its circumstances, the plan terms and the agreement. It is advisable to consult before taking steps.
