Employment lawyer in Ra'anana
Liron Segev is an employment lawyer in Ra'anana advising on employment law and employment agreements. She works with employers, start-ups and companies, and with employees who want to understand a contract before signing it.
Employment starts with an agreement and continues through everyday decisions: hiring, changing terms, policies and sometimes parting ways. Getting the basics right early saves misunderstandings later, for both sides.
Technology companies add another layer: confidentiality, intellectual property created on the job, and working with freelancers and contractors. Attorney Segev spent many years as legal and general counsel at hi-tech and international companies.

Frequently asked questions
Does an employment agreement have to be in writing?
Israeli law requires employers to give employees written notice of their terms. A proper agreement goes further, covering confidentiality, intellectual property and how the relationship ends.
What is the difference between an employee and a contractor?
It depends on how the relationship actually works, not only on what the contract says. The classification affects rights, taxes and who owns the intellectual property. It is worth checking the structure before the work begins.
Is a non-compete clause enforceable?
Not always. Israeli courts look at these clauses carefully because of the employee's freedom of occupation. A clause that protects a legitimate business interest, such as trade secrets, is the place to start.
Does Attorney Segev also advise employees?
Yes. Employees come to her to review a contract before signing, or to understand a separation agreement they have been offered. Ask before you sign, while changes can still be requested.
Can the advice and documents be in English?
Yes. Attorney Segev works in Hebrew and English and can draft employment agreements in English, for example for companies with foreign investors or employees abroad.
