About Us — Attorneys & Notaries Shtern & Shtern in Israel

Law Begins with the Person

Irina Stern’s legal practice is built around one simple principle: behind every legal matter is a person — their family, work, property, or an important decision that may affect the course of their life.

In Israel, it is especially important not only to know the law, but also to understand how it works in practice: which documents are required, which authorities need to be approached, how to build a legal position, and what consequences a particular decision may have.

That is why Attorney Stern’s work goes beyond preparing documents or providing legal representation. An essential part of the practice is understanding each client’s situation, explaining legal matters in clear language, and helping identify a practical and reasonable path forward.

Experience in Israeli Law and an Understanding of the Client

Irina Stern’s practice covers a broad range of personal and business matters, including family and contract law, real estate, inheritance, wills, and notarial services.

A particular focus is placed on assisting Russian-speaking clients and new immigrants. For someone who has recently arrived in Israel, the legal system can feel especially complex: a different language, unfamiliar terminology, different rules, and new government procedures.

In these circumstances, professional legal assistance begins by making the complex understandable.

Consultations and legal support are provided in Russian and Hebrew, allowing clients not only to receive a prepared document or legal answer, but also to understand the substance of the matter and the possible consequences of their decisions.

When a Legal Matter Crosses Borders

Modern life is rarely limited to a single jurisdiction.

A family may live in Israel while relatives reside in another country. Property or an inheritance may be located abroad, while business interests may extend across several jurisdictions.

The Stern practice also handles matters of this kind, including international documentation, inheritance matters, real estate, business support, and coordination with legal professionals in other countries.

This approach is especially important for clients whose personal or business affairs are connected both to Israel and to countries of the former Soviet Union.

Attorney and Notary in One Practice

Notarial work is an important part of Irina Stern’s practice.

Services include powers of attorney, declarations, certification of documents and copies, notarized translations, and other notarial acts required by individuals, families, and businesses.

When a notarial matter forms part of a broader legal issue, the client can receive not only notarization of the document, but also a professional legal assessment of the underlying matter.

Professionalism Begins with Attention

Legal assistance is not a promise of a guaranteed outcome.

Every matter has its own circumstances, documents, deadlines, and legal limitations. The role of the attorney is therefore to assess the situation fairly, explain the available options and risks, and provide professional support throughout the chosen course of action.

This principle lies at the heart of the Stern practice: to listen carefully, understand the essence of the matter, explain it clearly, and act professionally.

Today, Attorney and Notary Stern provides legal and notarial services in Israel to individuals, families, and businesses while preserving what matters most — a personal and attentive approach to every client.
