About Roman
Roman Begelfer built a practice that ties formal training in two countries to the everyday concerns of clients. He combines study in Israeli law and U.S. graduate work in intellectual property to advise businesses and individuals on transactional and dispute matters. The arc of his education shapes the way he approaches problems: practical, fact-driven, and internationally aware.
He earned an LL.B. from the Israeli College of Management, School of Law in 2002, where he studied law and mediation. He continued his legal education at Boston University, receiving an LL.M. in 2004 with concentrations in intellectual property and international business practice. Those credentials reflect a mix of dispute resolution training and technical lawyering that shows up in his caseload.
Begelfer is admitted to practice in New York and holds membership in the State Bar of New York. He practices from Begelfer Law Group, representing clients whose matters cross borders or require attention to intellectual property rights. His work has ranged from drafting and negotiating commercial agreements to advising on licensing and the management of intangible assets. He also handles mediated settlements and related dispute resolution processes.
Clients encounter him on both transactional and adversarial issues. He prepares licensing agreements, assists with intellectual property portfolio matters, and counsels on the legal dimensions of international contracting. When disputes arise, he has used mediation training to help parties reach practical resolutions, and he participates in litigation planning when cases proceed to court. His background in mediation informs how he frames negotiation strategy and settlement options.
Colleagues describe his practice as steady and methodical. He tends to break complex transactions into discrete steps and to flag jurisdictional or IP-specific risks early. That approach is useful for businesses that operate across legal systems or that need a clear pathway to manage rights, whether through agreements or negotiated outcomes.
As a New York practitioner with both Israeli and U.S. legal education, he occupies a space where international business concerns intersect with intellectual property and dispute resolution. He currently practices at Begelfer Law Group, handling intellectual property, international business, and mediation matters.
