Amit Gross
Biography
Amit Gross is the head of GCB and a key figure in Israel's legal-business arena. Amit brings over 20 years of experience in leading strategic moves for the largest and most influential companies in the economy. He does not merely represent; he serves as a strategic partner, guiding company management with a bird's-eye view—from initial incorporation stages, through critical decision-making junctions, to liquidity events and IPOs.

Amit has built a reputation as a lawyer who combines broad business vision with uncompromising legal precision. His professional journey, which began in Israel’s leading firms, quickly evolved into the establishment of an independent practice that broke traditional conventions. Amit leads mega-deals and influences entire economic sectors while successfully navigating complex partnership disputes, Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), cross-border commercial agreements, and workforce management and immigration regulation as part of the organization's comprehensive strategy. Amit has not only represented clients but has deeply influenced the legal field by leading precedent-setting decisions, legislative proposals, and managing conferences, alongside publishing recognized articles and opinion columns that have shaped professional discourse.

Amit’s expertise lies in guiding businesses from inception to public offering, managing every core issue encountered along the way. Whether entering a new market, separating from a partner, handling a business dispute, or bringing foreign experts for a flagship project—Amit conducts the legal orchestra and provides a complete solution.

The decision to establish GCB stemmed from Amit’s vision to create a complete "Business Umbrella." The approach is holistic: Amit, together with his experienced team of attorneys, solves every business challenge posed to the company—whether a commercial crisis, complex employment issues, or international regulation. Amit leads his clients with the understanding that quality legal counsel sees the big picture, looks ahead, and prevents problems before they are created. Amit continues to lead the firm and its clients out of a commitment to values of transparency, availability, and uncompromising professionalism, believing that it is less costly to prevent problems than to solve them.


Education
Amit’s legal knowledge crosses disciplines. While he holds deep expertise in Labor and Immigration Law, his central focus is comprehensive commercial-corporate counsel. Amit is an expert in deconstructing and reconstructing business processes, Founders' Agreements, capital raising, and crisis management. The rich experience he has engaged in vis-à-vis State authorities (Ministry of Economy, Immigration Authority, Tax Authorities, etc.) grants him a tremendous advantage in navigating the regulatory and bureaucratic system. Today, he possesses a unique ability to "read the map" and pave the safest and fastest route for his clients—from startups to pre-IPO corporations—to achieve their business goals.
Professional experience
Amit began his professional path in 2005, choosing to establish an independent boutique firm specializing in Labor Law, Immigration, and Commercial Law—fields where he identified a genuine need for professional, human, and strategic service. The firm quickly became a leader in its field, accompanying hundreds of Israeli and international companies in relocation processes, foreign worker employment, labor law claims, and commercial dispute resolution. Amit led precedent-setting court decisions, took an active part in shaping legislative proposals, and became a central figure in the market as a successful lawyer, a sought-after lecturer at professional conferences, and an author of articles influencing public discourse. The merger that led to the establishment of GCB was, for Amit, a revolutionary way to expand the professional envelope he offers his clients, providing them with a multi-disciplinary, comprehensive, and precise solution under one roof. The advantage Amit grants his clients lies in the rich experience of 20 years accumulated in managing edge-case events, the various legal and business fields he has touched throughout his life, and comprehensive knowledge in Labor, Immigration, and Commercial sectors. Amit provides extensive legal services, but in practice, he is not just a lawyer, but a senior business partner who analyzes needs, identifies opportunities and risks, and walks hand-in-hand with the business toward its next economic success.
