What juan et associes does

Junca & Associés is a French intellectual property and industrial property law firm headquartered in Saint-Jean, in the Toulouse metropolitan area, operating as a SELARL (Société d'Exercice Libéral à Responsabilité Limitée). Founded in the mid-1990s, the firm has advised clients for nearly 30 years from a single regional office, serving innovative companies in the aerospace/naval/space, digital/technology, agri-food, and medical/healthcare sectors. Its differentiator versus typical French IP boutiques is the combination of qualified lawyers (Avocats) and patent engineers (Ingénieurs Conseils en Propriété Industrielle), including an EPO-authorized representative, which enables integrated legal-technical analysis of patentability and infringement matters.

The firm offers a full IP lifecycle service stack: pre-project audit and strategy, patent filing and prosecution worldwide, trademark and design registration, industrial and commercial agreements (including technology transfer and licensing), IP litigation, training, and a digital law practice covering AI Act compliance, GDPR, blockchain, and software protection. Seven named professionals staff the practice. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm operates a WordPress website and distributes thought leadership through legal commentary, blog articles, NXU Think Tank video collaborations, and earned media such as the February 2026 Le Figaro Magazine feature on partner Marie Bouadana.

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services billing — hourly time-spent rates, fixed fees (forfaits) with possible success-based supplements, a 10% file management fee, and pass-through disbursements — formalized through a Lettre de Mission engagement letter. Client acquisition is sales-led, driven by referrals, direct professional relationships, and content marketing; distribution is wholly direct with no resellers, marketplaces, or intermediaries.
