Thomas, Mayer & Associés (TMA) is a French law firm founded by Eric-Jean Thomas and Eric Mayer, two French international lawyers who had been involved in business transactions in the South East Asia for many years before joining their expertise to set up the only French law firm originated in Hong Kong.

We regularly advise clients doing business in an international environment involving both common law and civil law jurisdictions and focus on the niche our profile suits most: advising the many French and continental European entrepreneurs, companies and businesses trading with and investing in Hong Kong, China and the Asia Pacific region, as well as the many Chinese and Asian entrepreneurs, companies and businesses trading with and investing in France and in continental Europe.

The services and advice we provide to our clients are tailor-made and stem both from our practical approach and our extended practice areas.

Our approach is to focus on making a valuable contribution to the progress of our clients' business. We develop long-term relationships built on mutual understanding and trust.

We provide our clients with services adapted to their specific needs, according to the size of their business, their activities and their prospects. They can benefit from our local practical experience and large network of contacts in Hong Kong, China and the Asia Pacific region.

Our practice areas include International Business Law, Mergers and Acquisitions, Joint Ventures, Company and Commercial Law, International Tax Law, International Arbitration, International Private Law, and Immigration Law.

We also have a close relationship with the French law firm of Thomas, Herbecq & Associés based in Paris, enabling us to provide a wide range of services to clients based in Hong Kong, China and the Pacific region doing business in France.

We practice in association with the local firm of Lily Fenn & Partners, which allows us to provide precise and updated information and advice on Hong Kong law to our clients, in a wide range of areas.

We represent, together with Lily Fenn & Partners, a team of approximately 50 people in Hong Kong, and can tap the ressources of an international association of commercial law firms, EALG (Euro-American lawyers Group), with members throughout Europe and Central and North America.
