Our Firm

David Shapiro & Associates Incorporated, has its origins at the beginning of 1984 with the inauguration by David Shapiro of his own law firm which has grown and evolved, together with others, into the current dynamic and energetic group of lawyers practising in most areas of law. The firm specialises in hospitality, property and general commercial fields.

Our offices are open throughout the year and our professional staff are available at home and on mobile phones 24 hours a day. We have also adopted an open door policy with our clients whereby we encourage and facilitate our clients to seek advice at all times and whenever they are unsure of the legal implications of any decision to be made.

Our practice, and more particularly our directors, are involved in a number of social and charitable programs, including involvement in Hatzolah Medical Rescue, a world-class, non-profit medical rescue organisation.

We subscribe to a high standard of fair labour practice and most members of our staff are of long-standing. Empowering the previously disadvantaged is a principle we strongly believe in with 70% of our employees being historically disenfranchised persons and 60% being female. It is our policy to continue to empower previously disadvantaged individuals on a professional level.
