Greetings from the President of the AAJ
"Dear Colleagues, Partners and Friends,,
Following the success of our Legal Summit held in Tokyo in November 2023, AAJ (Association des Avocats Japonophiles) is pleased to announce its next international gathering: the AAJ Euro-Japan Legal Summit 2026, which will take place in Paris on 19 and 20 March 2026.
Established in 2020, AAJ seeks to foster closer relations between France/Europe and Japan by promoting dialogue, cooperation, and mutual understanding within the legal community and beyond.
The AAJ Euro-Japan Legal Summit 2026 will bring together lawyers, academics, business leaders, and institutional representatives from both regions to discuss legal topics in a transversal and interdisciplinary perspective — addressing how law interacts with business, technology, sustainability, and cultural exchange.
This Paris edition will serve as a forum for reflection, dialogue, and connection between professionals committed to strengthening the Euro-Japanese partnership in an ever-evolving global context.
We look forward to welcoming you in Paris for this new chapter of the Euro-Japan dialogue!
Olivier Fachin - President, Association des Avocats Japonophiles (AAJ)
