Michael Barnea is an Israeli lawyer who works as a partner of Zellermayer, Gratch & Pelossof, Advocates, a law practice in Tel Aviv. Born in Tel Aviv in 1956, he is based in Israel, where his professional activity centres on legal practice.
Background
Michael Barnea was born on March 14, 1956, in Tel Aviv, Israel. Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 as a Jewish neighborhood beside the ancient port city of Jaffa and grew into the principal commercial and urban centre of modern Israel.
His birth in Tel Aviv placed him in the country's largest coastal metropolis during the decades after Israel became an independent state in 1948, when the city developed into a major center for business, finance, and professional services.
Career
Barnea's professional life is centred on his work as a partner in the Tel Aviv law practice Zellermayer, Gratch & Pelossof, Advocates. The firm's name is similar to that of Zellermayer, Pelossof, Rosovsky, Tsafrir, Toledano & Co., an Israeli commercial law firm founded in 1984 in Tel Aviv. That firm's practice areas included mergers and acquisitions, corporate and commercial law, corporate finance, tax law, and labor law, and it served technology-driven companies in the United States, the European Union, East Asia, Eastern Europe, and Israel.
The firm closed in the mid-2010s, a development that reflected the reorganization of Israel's large commercial law practices during that period.
