Morocco

Morocco is a growing business hub and gateway for international businesses looking to operate in Africa. A stable and diversified economy means it attracts significant foreign investment.

With an office in Casablanca, our local knowledge of the domestic laws in Morocco and our global outlook offer clients the expertise they need to take advantage of the opportunities in Morocco.

Along with our two offices in Egypt, we have a solid on-the-ground presence in North Africa, with excellent contacts at all levels of government. This local knowledge helps our clients to navigate the nuances of local laws and customs. We can call on expertise from the wider Al Tamimi & Company network across the MENA region for cross-border deals.

We offer a full range of corporate legal services in Morocco, including mergers and acquisitions, commercial, litigation and arbitration.

Our clients include large international companies, local firms and financial institutions. We have expertise in all of Morocco’s key sectors, including real estate, hospitality, tourism, manufacturing, renewable energy, technology and financial services.

We have particular experience in advising foreign investors and financial institutions on complex cross-border matters, as well as local companies operating all over the country in a wide range of  sectors on corporate and commercial matters, as well as helping them with licensing and other administrative procedures.

Recent projects include the structuring of the development, financing and operation of shopping mall, the licensing of a foreign satellite internet provider and securing the clearance of the Competition Council for a transaction involving two of the largest  European defence contractors.
