Shay Bar-Nir is a partner in M. Firon & Co's Litigation Department. Shay specializes in liquidation and restructuring proceedings for companies and non-profit organizations, in stays-of-proceedings and in formulating debt settlements and creditors' arrangements, and receiverships. Shay has also served as the official appointee for companies in liquidation and restructuring proceedings. He also represented creditors and office holders of large private and public companies who, at the peak of their operations, had hundreds of employees and found themselves with debts of hundreds of millions of shekels.
Shay also has major experience in conducting complex civil lawsuits including lawsuits involving matters of insolvency.
Shay is recognized for his extensive knowledge on all matters regarding company insolvency and consequently he is often recommended by the Commissioner of Insolvency Proceedings (formerly the Official Receiver) as an appointee for companies in a range of sectors including construction, industry and high-tech. In addition, Shay represents many clients who find themselves as creditors of companies in insolvency proceedings and due to his thorough understanding of the field, he is able to assist them in maximizing collection of the debt owing to the company. Shay's command of acting for civil proceedings in court allows him to conduct complex proceedings before the court as well as in alternative proceedings for settling disputes, and in particular those that include issues in the field of insolvency.
And so, by way of illustration, Shay was:
Appointed by the then President of the Tel Aviv District Court Eitan Orenstein as a trustee of a building development company that found itself with debts of tens of millions of shekels, until its sale to a public company, for a total that could amount to more than NIS 40 million.
Appointed as a Special Manager for several high-tech companies.
Represented a leading company in the security sector in a stay-of-proceedings up until the sale of its air firefighting operations to another company.
Represented companies from a large entrepreneurial group in proceedings to freeze the activities of contractors as part of the forfeiture of guarantees worth millions of shekels and represented leading non-profit organizations in their reorganization and recovery, etc.
Shay’s clients include commercial companies from all areas of the Israeli economy, leading groups from the defense industry as well as some of the country's largest real estate and infrastructure companies.
His in-depth familiarity with the field of insolvency as well as his major experience in conducting legal proceedings have enabled Shay to become one of the top-rated professionals in the most complex insolvency proceedings.
Shay joined M. Firon & Co. as a pre-intern in 2005 and became a partner in 2015.
Shay serves as a Member of the Companies Liquidation and Restructuring Committee of the Israel Bar Association.
