The complete package
Affidavit, exhibits, undertaking and draft order filed as one — because interim relief is granted on paper quality, not on urgency claimed.
Injunctions & provisional remedies
Relief that must arrive before the judgment can.
Urgent injunctions, freezing orders and asset preservation in Israeli courts: Aun & Co. obtains and defends provisional remedies where days decide outcomes.
Provisional remedies exist because judgments take years and assets move in days. Israeli procedure allows temporary injunctions, attachment (freezing) orders, receivers and evidence-seizure orders — some granted ex parte — on a showing of a prima facie case, balance of convenience and real risk that the judgment will otherwise be frustrated. These applications are won on preparation: the affidavit, the undertaking, the exhibits, all assembled before the other side knows the application exists.
The work spans
- Temporary injunctions restraining transactions, publications and moves
- Attachment orders freezing bank accounts, property and receivables
- Ex parte applications and the return hearings that follow them
- Discharge applications: attacking orders obtained against you
- Security, undertakings and the cost architecture of interim relief
- A debtor is emptying accounts and listing property while your claim is still being drafted.
- You were served with a freezing order this morning and operations stop unless it moves.
- A former insider is about to close a deal built on what was taken from you.
- You need evidence secured from premises before it can be deleted.
Speed is engineered, not improvised. The firm builds the application as a complete package — affidavit, asset evidence, undertaking, draft order — before filing, because a gap found by the judge costs the ex parte advantage. Full disclosure is treated as strategy: concealment discovered at the return hearing kills the order and stains the case. Defending, the firm attacks the same three points: the prima facie showing, the urgency narrative and what the applicant failed to disclose.
04 · What you get
Disclosure discipline
The inconvenient facts addressed in your own application, so the return hearing confirms the order instead of unravelling it.
Both directions
The firm obtains these orders and dismantles them — each side of the practice sharpens the other.
A typical engagement: a creditor learns its counterparty is transferring assets to family members ahead of an expected judgment. Within days the firm assembles the asset trail and files for attachment ex parte, then holds the order through the contested return hearing.

What must I show to get a freezing order in Israel?
Three things: a prima facie case on reliable evidence, a real concern that without the order the judgment could not be satisfied, and a balance of convenience favouring you. An undertaking to compensate for damage is mandatory; security is commonly ordered.
Can interim relief be obtained before filing the claim?
Yes. Israeli courts may grant provisional remedies before the action is filed where justified — but the claim must then be filed within a short statutory window, typically seven days, or the order lapses.
How do I challenge a freezing order made without my presence?
Through the prompt inter partes hearing that follows every ex parte order. The strongest attacks are usually non-disclosure by the applicant and the thinness of the frustration risk — courts discharge orders built on incomplete candour.
