About Eli Ilya Gervits
Eli (Ilya) Gervits is the President of " Eli Gervits Law" and a practicing attorney with over three decades of experience guiding individuals and businesses through the Israeli legal system. He holds a Master's degree in Commercial Law from Tel Aviv University with honors, and has served as an Officer of Justice in the Israel Defense Forces Reserve, including roles as head of the oversight department and acting head of the disciplinary court under the General Army Prosecutor's office. This rare combination of academic distinction and institutional experience forms the foundation of his practice.
Eli leads a Russian-speaking law office, representing individuals and businesses across a wide range of matters — from Israeli citizenship acquisition and real estate transactions to corporate law, investment structuring, and high-tech ventures. He also represents clients before the Supreme Court of Israel and provides ongoing general counsel to foreign companies operating in the country. His bilingual fluency in Russian and Hebrew allows him to bridge the gap for Russian-speaking clients entering the Israeli legal system.
Beyond his courtroom work, Eli is a recognized public voice in legal affairs. He has lectured at Moscow State University and MGIMO. He is the author of a Hebrew-Russian legal dictionary — prefaced by the President of Israel's Supreme Court — as well as several books on the legal aspects of Israeli military service, and was awarded a presidential scholarship for his contributions to legal literature.
A certified mediator and chess candidate master, Eli approaches every case with the same discipline he brings to the board: methodical thinking, strategic clarity, and a commitment to finding the most effective path forward for his clients.
Areas of Expertise
The Company
Founded in 1998, the Eli Gervits Law Office has grown into one of Israel's leading legal practices, serving clients across six continents — from individuals relocating to Israel to multinational corporations establishing regional operations. The firm operates through dedicated departments covering citizenship and immigration, real estate, corporate law, international business, litigation, and investment management.
The firm's approach is built on a straightforward principle: legal counsel should serve a client's actual objectives, not just their technical legal situation. Every matter is handled with strict confidentiality and a genuine focus on outcomes — understanding the full picture before charting a course forward. This is not a firm that processes cases; it is one that solves problems.
For clients navigating Israeli law from abroad — or those already in Israel who need a team that understands their language, culture, and context — the Eli Gervits Law Office offers exactly that: decades of expertise, a full spectrum of services, and a commitment to getting it right.
