About Tali
Tali Sealman blends training from two legal systems into a practice that crosses borders. She holds an LL.B. from Tel Aviv University and earned an LL.M. from Columbia Law School, a combination that reflects both local roots and exposure to the American legal academy. Those academic credentials inform the work she does today.
After completing her studies, Sealman built a career that takes advantage of dual qualifications. She is admitted to practice in both Israel and California. That standing underpins much of her professional activity and shapes how she approaches client matters. Her legal education in Tel Aviv and New York gave her grounding in different legal traditions and ways of thinking.
Sealman serves as Special Counsel at Cooley Godward Kronish LLP. In that role she has worked on matters that require coordination across jurisdictions. Colleagues describe her as practical and precise; clients have turned to her when issues touch both U.S. and Israeli law. The Special Counsel title reflects a senior advisory role within the firm’s team structure and often involves taking responsibility for complex pieces of larger transactions and disputes.
Her practice benefits from fluency in the legal and business cultures of both countries. Being licensed in California and Israel allows her to assist clients whose work or investments move between the two markets. She routinely consults on questions where differences between the legal systems matter — from procedural steps to regulatory expectations. That comparative perspective is a recurrent theme in the matters she handles.
Sealman’s path—Tel Aviv to Columbia to a position at Cooley—has kept her at the intersection of international practice and day-to-day legal problem solving. She balances the demands of multinational engagements with detailed legal analysis. She has experience coordinating teams across time zones and legal systems, and she often serves as a bridge between local counsel and outside advisers.
Outside of courtrooms and conference calls, she remains connected to developments in both jurisdictions. Her education and admissions continue to shape how she approaches risk assessment and contract design. She currently concentrates on matters that span U.S. and Israeli law.
