law matters
Other than for certain regulatory documents, Israeli law makes no requirements for documents to be
signed or submitted in person, and most documents may be executed electronically or by scanned
version.
Have any measures
been put in place to
accommodate social
distancing (such as
remote general
meetings)?
The Israeli Companies Law does not require any corporate meetings to be held in person, and unless
specifically noted otherwise in a company’s bylaws, all such meetings may be held remotely by means
of telecommunication, provided all participants are be able to speak and hear one another in parallel.
Furthermore, all regulatory authorities (such as the Israeli Registrar of Companies) have made efforts
to accommodate social distancing, by allowing companies and entities to submit reports and
documents through the internet or by email. An additional temporary relief includes the ability to
verify the signatures of individuals located in Israel remotely by means of telecommunication, instead
of in face-to-face meetings.
