Komon is present throughout the life of its client’s businesses, from strategic consideration involved in its establishment to defending its interests in international arbitration disputes.
Specifically, our firm provides support in setting up and developing companies, particularly French companies, in these regions, including all related legal operations that may be necessary (mergers and acquisitions, investment projects, contract drafting, legal secretarial services, compliance, personal data protection, etc.).
Regarding international arbitration, a dedicated and specialized team represents the interests of the firm's clients, whether they are French companies up against Asian companies or vice-versa, particularly in the context of settlements negotiations, post-merger and acquisition disputes, or commercial or shareholder disputes.
