Founded in 1988, Kahn & Associés has in a short period of time established itself as a leading French law firm, and has a pre-eminent position in the representation of high-technology and e-commerce businesses. We have grown steadily over the years and now have 8 partners and a total staff close to 50.

Our foremost objective is to provide insightful and timely assistance and advice to clients in a practical and business-oriented manner. All our lawyers are flexible in adapting to each client's needs and procedures.

Although strategic transactions -- mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, and equity investments -- constitute a major part of our practice, we believe it is equally important to follow and support our clients for the long haul.

We therefore provide advice and assistance across a broad range of day-to-day matters -- counseling on numerous commercial, intellectual property and employment law matters; bringing and defending litigation; and reviewing marketing and other business practices for compliance with applicable law.

Our philosophy : knowing the clients as well as they know themselves…
A lofty goal, but we strongly believe the most efficient and focused legal service flows most naturally from a full and deep understanding of a client's current business and future objectives. Such knowledge provides the best foundation for a strong and long-lasting professional relationship and enables the firm's lawyers to be pro-active and solution-oriented in advising clients. Our focus on the technology and e-commerce sectors enables our lawyers to keep current with industry developments.

In order to be pragmatic in handling client matters, each lawyer works with the firm's clients in assessing the time and resources that should be devoted to each matter; the firm strives to avoid over-staffing. Each lawyer provides personal attention and gives top priority to providing service within the time-frame desired by the client and to keeping focused on the client's business objectives -- and how to achieve them.

We also promote a friendly and informal working environment among lawyers and non-lawyers that encourages teamwork and efficient delivery of work product to our clients. When combined with the quality of our clients and interesting work, our style enables us to attract the very best lawyers.
