Calcalist: One Quarter of Lawyers in Israel Make Less than the Average Wage
According to this hebrew article 10% of lawyers in Israel gross less than 5,667 NIS per month. Another 10% make between 5,667 and 8,500 NIS per month. The average income across professions is 9,100 NIS per month.
For you to be an israeli lawyer, you need to be licensed. Licensing is a four step process that includes: sitting for a Hebrew proficiency exam, law of Israel exams, Israel bar exams, and completing a one year legal internship. Although, these are the processes involved when you are an Israeli local, there are exemptions. For example when you are a foreigner and you have over two years of foreign experience as a lawyer, you are allowed to go ahead with your one year internship after passing the Hebrew proficiency exam. If you are a foreigner and you want to practice law in Israeli, you need to be proficient in Hebrew as it’s the main language of communication.
