What ALEXANDRE LEVY KAHN BRAUN and associates AARPI does

ALEXANDRE LEVY KAHN BRAUN and associates AARPI is a French full-service business law firm (Association d'Avocats à Responsabilité Professionnelle Individuelle) operating from Strasbourg and Colmar in the Grand Est region. Founded in 1951 by Maître Gérard Alexandre and reorganized through a 2016 merger of cabinets Alexandre-Levy-Kahn and Galilée, the firm employs 25 lawyers across 21 legal practice areas spanning business law, commercial law, labor law, real estate, family law, health law, EU law, intellectual property, and personal injury. The firm serves enterprises (from SMEs to multinationals), individuals and families, international companies (with a dedicated German Desk for France-Germany cross-border work), and healthcare providers across France. Core services include legal and fiscal advisory, contract drafting, judicial and arbitral litigation, mediation led by a certified mediator, and outsourced legal department management for companies lacking in-house counsel.

The firm operates as a traditional professional services practice with no proprietary technology platform disclosed; its only digital infrastructure is a company website, a LinkedIn presence, an online payment facility for client transactions, and a consumer mediator designation. Multilingual capability (English, German, Italian, Spanish) is a stated differentiator, supporting cross-border engagements. Quality management is independently validated through ISO 9001 certification held since 2005 from AFNOR, a credential held by only approximately 10 of 40,000 French law firms. Distribution relies on direct client relationships, professional referrals through the Gesica network (co-founded by partner Bernard Levy), bar association participation, and the firm's regional brand heritage rather than technology-led acquisition channels.

The business model is professional services billing on a case-by-case and engagement basis, with revenue drawn from advisory fees, drafting retainers, litigation representation, mediation sessions, and flexible outsourcing mandates (full-time/part-time, remote/on-site). No public pricing or fee schedule is disclosed. Customer acquisition is sales-led, anchored in reputation, referrals, and local Alsace market presence. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the firm has no parent company, no external investors, and no subsidiaries — it is independently owned and operated by its partner lawyers.
