ABOUT US
Efrat started her legal career in academia. Following her LL.B. degree from the Hebrew University she worked as a research assistant and professor assistant for some of the most highly appreciated, well-known professors in distinguished law schools such as the Hebrew University and the Reichman University, as well as the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania. Efrat also taught various subjects in one of the then top preparation courses for the Israeli Bar exam.
After graduating from University of Pennsylvania Law School in 2010, earning her LL.M with distinction, Efrat returned home to join outstanding law firms in corporate practice and M&A.

Efrat has represented companies through all stages and size, and she is well versed with all commercial aspects and corporate matters of corporations.
Efrat’s experience and knowledge bring her to look at every transaction not only through the lawyer’s perspective, but also from a business point of view, giving her clients an advantage throughout the negotiation of every transaction until its execution. Efrat led some very high-level deals for large international corporations in various fields such as technology, retail, pharma and life-science, food and agro-tech, biotech, and others.
On a personal note: Efrat is fluent in both English and Hebrew, yet when she reads fiction, it is mostly in English. Efrat enjoys solving cryptic crosswords and logic puzzles, and she believes it complements her analytical thinking. Efrat enjoys playing the guitar, writing and cooking, creative outlets that assist the creativity in Efrat’s legal work.

Most of Efrat’s friends and colleagues simply call her by her surname – Shuster.
