About Erez Almog

Global Lawyer. Cross-Border Strategist.
28 Years of International Deal-Making.

For nearly three decades, I have worked at the intersection of law, strategy and international business. My clients operate across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory systems. My role has always been to bring order to complexity and provide clear, practical guidance where precision matters.

Early Career: High-Tech and Capital Markets

I began my career in the early 2000s advising high-tech startups as they moved from idea to investment.

I handled pre-seed, Series A and Series B fundraising, negotiated with international venture funds and advised companies preparing for listings on NASDAQ and on Germany's former Neue Markt.

Cross-Border Commercial Work

As global investment into Israel expanded, I represented multinational companies from Singapore, the United States, Canada and Europe as they entered the Israeli market. I also advised Israeli exporters and technology companies expanding into Asia, Europe and North America.

My work included:

  • M&A and joint ventures
  • Licensing and distribution
  • Employment and contractor arrangements
  • International commercial agreements
  • Tax planning and transfer pricing

Over the years, I established companies and operational structures in nearly 20 jurisdictions. These include Panama, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, Georgia, Cyprus, Malta, Estonia, Bulgaria, BVI, Seychelles, Vanuatu, Jersey, Curaçao, St. Vincent and others. My work covered governance, compliance, multi-entity structuring and cross-border operational alignment.

Financial Services & Digital Assets

Licensing and AML Compliance

I drafted licensing frameworks for operators regulated in Curaçao, Malta, Cyprus (CySEC), Jersey, Seychelles, Vanuatu, BVI, St. Vincent and additional offshore and onshore environments.

This included:

  • AML and CTF frameworks
  • Operational compliance
  • Cross-border payments
  • Multi-regulator supervision
  • Risk mapping and structural planning

Digital Assets (2019 to today)

I began advising digital-asset businesses in 2019 when regulation was still undefined and inconsistent.

Today, I advise clients operating across Israel, Europe, Asia and the United States, often under the supervision of three or more regulators at the same time.

A Distinct Approach

I am a lawyer with an entrepreneurial mindset. I have built companies, not only advised them.

I also bring practical experience as an investor in the United States real-estate market, which provides an additional commercial viewpoint when assessing risk, structure and strategy.

My work blends legal structure with business logic, market psychology and operational experience.

The result is clarity, precision and a clear path forward, even in complex environments.
