The firm
M21 Avocats was born out of a desire: to create a law firm capable of providing pragmatic solutions to all the legal challenges faced by creative and innovative industries.
Video games, film, audiovisual, media, tech, energy, space. Different sectors, yet bound together by the same creative and innovative drive — and ones we work within on a daily basis.
By bringing together complementary areas of expertise under one roof, we offer each of our clients a 360°, agile and operational approach. We advise independent creators as well as established companies, early-stage startups as well as French and international groups.
What unites us: a deep understanding of your business, and the commitment to stay as close as possible to your projects and ambitions.
We Know Your Industries from the Inside
Their codes, their practices, the players who shape them every day. It is this sector-level proximity that allows us to provide truly tailored answers.
Intellectual property, IT & Data, international negotiation, structuring, fundraising, regulation, governance, and litigation: our skills complement and feed one another to cover every dimension of your projects, without compartmentalization.
Our Commitments
- We speak your language — we understand your challenges and constraints, we know your business, and we share your ambitions.
- We get straight to the point — we are proactive, and we deliver reliable, concrete, directly applicable solutions.
- We anticipate — we structure your projects, guide your decisions, and identify risks before they turn into disputes.
- We are in it for the long run — we build relationships of trust with you, project by project, so you can move forward with confidence.
About the name
M21 refers to an open star cluster in the constellation Sagittarius. In perpetual evolution, it is destined to continuously welcome new stars — each shining through its singularity, while being connected to the others by gravitational force and contributing to a collective dynamic. In the image of this celestial body, our firm is always ready to welcome new clients, new associates, and new partners, with the desire to bring together unique personalities and areas of expertise that attract one another, mutually reinforce each other, and share one common conviction: it is by combining different perspectives that the best answers are built.
