Strategic Legal Defense & Premier Corporate Counsel

Under Article 62 of the Moroccan Labor Code, a mandatory disciplinary hearing ("séance d'écoute") must precede any dismissal for gross misconduct. You have the statutory right to be accompanied by an employee delegate or union representative. Our firm steps in immediately during the pre-litigation phase to audit procedural compliance (8-day notice window), prepare formal defense statements, negotiate severance terms or amicable settlement agreements, or build a robust wrongful termination file for court litigation.

Prior to taking drastic steps, an immediate legal audit of contractual terms (liability, termination clauses, notice periods) is critical. Our firm issues formal default notices, conducts structured pre-litigation negotiations to protect your commercial interest, or petitions the Commercial Court for urgent protective relief (such as bank garnishments or asset attachments) to secure your financial claims before initiating full courtroom trial.

No. Under Moroccan Law 49.16, commercial tenants with over two years of occupancy hold statutory renewal rights. Unless the landlord proves grave statutory cause (such as unpaid rent following a 15-day formal notice), eviction mandates payment of full statutory eviction compensation covering the market value of the business goodwill (fonds de commerce), relocation costs, and employee redundancy expenses. We challenge invalid notices and initiate judicial valuation proceedings.

For documented commercial debts (accepted invoices, delivery receipts, bills of exchange, or checks), we file a petition for an Injunction to Pay before the President of the Casablanca Commercial Court. This summary proceeding delivers an enforceable order within days, allowing immediate bank account garnishments or protective asset attachments against the debtor to compel payment.

In property disputes involving registered land or ongoing registration, we lodge an urgent caveat (Prénotation under Art. 85 of the Land Registry Law) on the title certificate at the Conservation Foncière to freeze any sale, mortgage, or transfer to third parties, followed by full judicial action to establish and enforce your ownership rights.
