Advice on Moroccan commercial law

The contract – the cornerstone of your business strategy 

Morocco has established itself as a real leader in inter-African trade. It is not only served by its strategic location – at crossroads between the Maghreb, West Africa and the rest of the continent – but also by its strong economy and infrastructure as well as by the ambitious policy pursued in this respect by its sovereign, Mohamed VI. This is boosting international activity and increasing the number of contracts, all in a constantly changing legal environment.  

To comply with the law and ensure your competitiveness, while managing the business risks related to your activity, it is vital to secure your relations with your clients and your suppliers. This particularly requires being extremely thorough when drafting and negotiating your contracts, based on the specific characteristics of your sector as well as your own operating methods. Our legal advisors specialising in Moroccan commercial law can provide you with expert and rapid support, tailored to your specific context.
