Dalit Sokol is an Israeli lawyer based in Tel Aviv, known for her work as a partner of Naschitz, Brandes & Co. Advocates and Notaries. She studied law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and was admitted to the Israel Bar in 1986.
Education
Sokol studied law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where she completed a Bachelor of Laws degree before her admission to the Israel Bar in 1986.
The Hebrew University traces its origins to a cornerstone laid on Mount Scopus in 1918, and it opened in 1925 as Israel's first university. The 1948 war cut off the Mount Scopus campus, and the university taught from other sites in Jerusalem, including the Givat Ram campus that opened in 1958. After the Six-Day War of 1967 the university regained Mount Scopus, and by 1981 construction there was complete and it had again become the main campus.
Career
Sokol practised law in Israel as a partner of Naschitz, Brandes & Co. Advocates and Notaries, a law office in Tel Aviv. Reference data dates the firm's establishment to 1981 and names Hanina Brandes as its founder, and the firm later operated under the name Naschitz, Brandes, Amir & Co. The firm describes itself as one of Israel's preeminent full-service law firms, with practice areas that include corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, high-tech and venture capital, and public and private securities offerings.
Her admission to the Israel Bar took place in 1986. Before and after the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, only advocates were lawyers in the country, and the Israel Bar Association Act of 1961 later set the current framework for regulating the profession.
Membership
Sokol was admitted to the Israel Bar, the bar association for lawyers licensed in Israel. The association was established in 1961 as an autonomous statutory body to incorporate the country's lawyers and to safeguard the standards and integrity of the legal profession.
Membership is compulsory for lawyers licensed in Israel, and the association regulates ethical and disciplinary matters for its members.
