Desk Japan
We have a genuine legal know-how as well as soft skills in French-Japanese business: Komon Avocats speaks and thinks Japanese!
Our firm provides support in setting up and developing Japanese companies in France, as well as in all related legal operations (mergers & acquisitions, investment projects, contract drafting, legal secretarial services, compliance, personal data protection, etc.).
Komon Avocats is perfectly in tune with the Japanese way of thinking about business and makes a point of respecting business manner (ビジネスマナー), a Japanese word referring to the rules and codes of doing business in Japan.
In addition, a dispute resolution team is dedicated to ensure the defense of Komon Avocats’ clients at an amicable or litigation stage between French and Japanese firms, in particular in the context of international conflicts between companies, internal crisis negotiations or insolvency proceedings.
ln order to constantly improve their knowledge of Japanese business culture and practices, the members of Komon Avocats regularly travel to Japan where partnerships are constantly being forged.
The partners of the firm are also founders of the AAJ: Association des Avocats Japonophiles.
