A. Sadeh Sues Check Point for 7.8 Million Shekels Over HQ Construction
A. Sadeh Projects sued Check Point for 7.8 million shekels at the Tel Aviv District Court over unpaid finishing work at its headquarters. Check Point announced it would review the filing and noted a pending countersuit regarding construction defects.
A. Sadeh Projects has filed a 7.8 million shekel lawsuit against cybersecurity giant Check Point Software Technologies at the Tel Aviv District Court. The contractor claims the company failed to fully pay for finishing and systems work at its new 12-story headquarters in Tel Aviv's Bitzaron neighborhood. The total value of the project reached 92 million shekels, the vast majority of which has been paid.
According to the statement of claim, A. Sadeh fulfilled all its contractual obligations and completed the work professionally. The contractor argues it is entitled to full compensation under a signed settlement agreement. The 7.8 million shekel claim consists of 4.2 million shekels in unpaid balances, roughly half a million shekels for additional work, plus VAT, linkage differences, and interest.
Project Background and Disputes
In 2015, Check Point contracted A. Sadeh to perform finishing works and systems integration for a new 2400-square-meter green office building adjacent to its existing headquarters on HaSolelim Street. The project, completed with a Form 4 occupancy permit in November 2017, also included comprehensive renovations of the existing structure.
The plaintiff alleges that Check Point acted aggressively, frequently changing plans, delaying instructions, and failing to provide complete initial blueprints. A. Sadeh claims it financed substantial out-of-pocket costs to keep the project moving forward despite these hurdles.
Legal Responses
Check Point responded by stating it would review the lawsuit and respond through standard legal channels. The company noted that a pending countersuit against A. Sadeh regarding construction defects raises serious questions about the timing of the current legal action.
Attorney Maoz Rot, partner at S. Friedman, Abramson & Co. representing the contractor, stated that the claims are fully backed by documents and evidence. The firm rejected any insinuation regarding its motives and expressed full confidence that the court will rule in its favor.
