Kobre & Kim is featured in the December 2025 edition of IsraelDesks magazine in its “Jurisdiction in the Spotlight” section, which this issue focuses on New York as a global business and disputes hub.
In the feature, Udi Karklinsky shares insights into the challenges Israeli companies face when operating or expanding in New York, particularly around regulatory expectations, transparency, and navigating a complex and highly competitive legal environment.
As Udi notes, “Doing business in New York presents several key challenges for Israeli companies that differ significantly from what founders may be used to in Israel. The U.S. regulatory environment is more complex and less forgiving, and companies are expected to be fully transparent and cooperative with regulators.” He also highlights the importance of selecting advisers who can bridge Israeli and U.S. legal and commercial norms while providing pragmatic, growth-oriented guidance.
The feature underscores New York’s continued relevance for Israeli companies, and the need for careful planning when entering one of the world’s most active commercial jurisdictions.
