Dr. Carmi’s doctoral research focused on constitutional and administrative law (also referred to as “public law”) at one of the world’s leading universities. His expertise in this field has been widely recognized, including through receipt of the prestigious Gorni Prize for Public Law, the highest honor in the field. In the award committee’s remarks, chaired by Prof. Yitzhak Zamir, former Supreme Court Justice and Government Legal Advisor, it was noted:

“Dr. Carmi combines practical work as a lawyer with academic research and teaching in higher education. He has published several articles in leading journals in the U.S. and the U.K. If the past can be a guide to the future, Dr. Carmi is expected to become one of the outstanding scholars in the field of public law.”

Over the years, Dr. Carmi has appeared in dozens of cases before the Supreme Court, including constitutional petitions of principle, appeals against administrative rulings, and representation in matters of significant public importance. His work has included petitions challenging the validity of statutes, the legality of tax regulations and international treaties, the application of diplomatic and security-related immunities to documents involved in overseas proceedings, petitions concerning arrangements worth billions of shekels, and decisions relating to public corporations and similar entities.

Dr. Carmi’s experience in these areas is exceptional. Thanks to his expertise, he has served as a sought-after lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The Supreme Court has also recognized him as an authority, citing his scholarly articles in several rulings.

Dr. Carmi’s reputation extends to public procurement law, a field that combines administrative and commercial law. His expertise in this area is so renowned that the trademark “Dr. Tender™” is registered in his name. His skill has also received international recognition: the respected guide Legal 500 noted:

“Dr. Guy Carmi – Law Firm earns recognition for its strong administrative law offering with founding Dr. Carmi particularly noted for his record in public tenders litigation.”

Beyond court representation, Dr. Carmi advises clients in administrative hearings to achieve optimal outcomes before resorting to litigation. He has represented clients in hearings before major and influential bodies, including the State Comptroller’s Office, the Second Authority for Television and Radio, various government ministries, and numerous tender committees — both as counsel conducting the hearing for the committee and as legal representative before the committee itself.

Dr. Carmi serves as a member of the board and senior management of the Movement for Quality Government in Israel, a voluntary role he fulfills out of a sense of mission. His background, experience, and opinion pieces in public law clearly establish him as one of Israel’s leading public law experts.
