Before investing
We assess your project under Moroccan law: subsidiary, branch or liaison office, regulated activities, land acquisition, incentive schemes under the Investment Charter and the rules applying to industrial acceleration zones. We also point you to the relevant public bodies, in particular the Regional Investment Centres.
Setting up
- Incorporation and drafting of the articles of association
- Shareholder agreements and joint ventures with Moroccan partners
- Acquisitions and legal due diligence
- Purchase or lease of land and premises
Repatriation of funds and exchange control
Foreign investments made in line with Moroccan exchange control rules generally benefit from a regime allowing the transfer of income and sale proceeds. Structuring the transaction correctly from the outset is essential to preserve these rights.
Running your business
- Commercial contracts with customers, suppliers and distributors
- Employment law: contracts, hiring foreign employees, internal rules, terminations
- Debt recovery and dealings with public authorities
- Compliance and corporate housekeeping for your subsidiary
Disputes and arbitration
If a dispute arises with a partner, a customer or an authority, we represent your company before Moroccan courts and in arbitration and mediation proceedings. We also handle the recognition and enforcement in Morocco of arbitral awards and foreign judgments.
