Anderson Mori & Tomotsune (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; \u201cAMT\u201d) is pleased to announce the establishment of its Paris office, further strengthening its European presence and enhancing its ability to support clients in France and across Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For nearly two decades, AMT has maintained close relationships with leading law firms in France through regular secondments and professional exchanges. In collaboration with local counsel, the firm has advised clients on a wide range of French-related matters, including M&A, joint ventures, corporate establishments and investments, financial transactions, employment law, and dispute resolution. The opening of the Paris office marks a significant milestone in the firm\u2019s long-standing commitment to the French market.<\/p>\n

The Paris office operates as an associated office with MTS Law Office, founded in Paris by Manami Toyota Sirvent, an attorney qualified in Japan and France. Ms. Toyota obtained her French legal qualification in December 2021 and has been practicing French law in Paris since May 2022. Through this association, AMT is able to offer seamless, integrated legal support covering Japanese law, French law, and EU law. This enables the firm to advise Japanese companies engaged in business expansion, M&A, investments, and disputes in France, as well as French companies considering business operations, M&A, or investments in Japan.<\/p>\n

AMT has continued to enhance its European capabilities with the opening of its London office in September 2022 and its Brussels office in April 2024. The establishment of the Paris office further reinforces the firm\u2019s ability to deliver high-quality, cross-border legal services tailored to the needs of its international clients.<\/p>\n

The firm remains committed to meeting the evolving needs of its clients and to continuously enhancing the scope and quality of its legal services.<\/p>\n
