Private equity

Legal and tax support in relation to your investment projects in Morocco. 

A favourable but complex legal and tax climate 

Energy, agribusiness, biotechnology, hotels and leisure, insurance, new information and communication technologies –are sectors that are growing rapidly in Morocco, offering numerous opportunities for value creation. The size and dynamism of the internal market, as well as the country’s increasing openness to Africa, create an attractive environment for domestic and foreign investment funds. As an operator in Moroccan private equity, you benefit from a favourable legal and tax climate (tax transparency of investment vehicles, exemption from registration fees on share transfers). It can nevertheless quickly become complex, given the abundant Moroccan and international regulations in force. Whatever your structure or the nature of your investment project – seed capital, venture capital or development capital, capital transmission or buyout or capital reversal – our legal and tax advisors assist you every step of the way.
