Nestled in the vibrant city of Rishon LeZion, MVCE Law Offices, headed by Eddy Meiri, offers a unique blend of legal expertise and personalized service, catering specifically to the needs of Americans with legal activities and needs in Israel. Founded by Meiri, an attorney with a rich background and a deep understanding of both Israeli and American legal systems, the firm has become a beacon for those navigating the complex legal landscape between these two nations and legal systems.
Meiri’s is a journey of expertise and dedication. He began in Romania, where he was born before making aliyah to Israel as a small child. Growing up in the picturesque city of Haifa, he attended the prestigious Reali High School, setting the foundation for his future legal career. Before serving in the Israel Defense Forces, Meiri pursued a law degree, passing the Israeli bar in 1998. He further expanded his qualifications by passing the New York bar in 2000, giving him a distinct edge in the Israeli legal market.
Meiri’s passion for law and adventure led him to travel the world, including memorable stays in Greece and Ireland. However, his commitment to his roots brought him back to Israel, where he lived in Jerusalem for five years, married, and eventually settled in Rishon LeZion with his wife and three young children.
Meiri’s law practice specializes in probate proceedings, real estate transactions, contract negotiating and drafting, and civil and commercial litigation, with a particular focus on cases involving U.S. law aspects related to Israel. He has carved a niche in handling probate issues for American citizens who have legal interests in Israel, a field that requires navigating the intricate legal systems of both countries. His expertise extends to business contracts, real estate and litigation, often working closely with American clients to ensure their interests are protected.
One notable case involved “Y,” a client based in New York whose father had passed away. The father owned an apartment in Israel, which required a legal process to transfer the title to the heirs who lived in the U.S. Meiri handled the probate proceedings and subsequent sale of the apartment, expertly navigating the tax implications. Remarkably, the entire process was managed without the client ever needing to leave New York, facilitated through phone and video calls, electronic communications and coordination with local service providers in the United States, attending to the entire spectrum of the client’s needs.
Another case showcased Meiri’s proficiency in protecting American business interests in Israel. He represented a U.S.-based client who was entering into a business contract in Israel, ensuring that the client’s shares were registered correctly and that all legal avenues were pursued to prevent local parties in Israel from taking advantage of the situation where the client is overseas.
What sets MVCE Law Offices and Meiri apart is the firm’s commitment to providing personalized and professional service. “I am personally involved in each case, offering a level of attention and care that larger firms often cannot provide,” he explained. “I am fluent in both Hebrew and English, with a keen understanding of legalese in both languages,” he added, priding himself at being adept at communicating complex legal concepts to his clients. “We live up to our promise: ‘MVCE—Israeli Legal Excellence.’”
The firm prides itself on its ability to see the bigger picture, often advising clients on issues they might not have been aware of. This holistic approach ensures that clients receive comprehensive legal support, tailored to their specific needs and circumstances.
MVCE Law Offices, headed by Meiri, is supported by a dedicated team of three attorneys, each bringing their own expertise and experience to the table. Together, they offer a robust legal service that covers a wide range of legal matters, from real estate transactions to intricate probate cases.
Meiri is also an Israeli notary, providing notarial services in English, thus providing his clientele an all-around service. He also utilizes his proficiency of both languages and legal knowledge to provide legal translation services (including certified notarized translations where required).
