A solid contract is drafted before litigation. The firm drafts, negotiates and defends your commercial contracts in Marrakech, from the simplest (NDA, service) to the most structured (joint venture, business asset transfer, shareholders' agreement).
The DOC: foundation of Moroccan contract law
The Dahir forming the Code of Obligations and Contracts (DOC) governs all contracts in Morocco: validity conditions, performance, non-performance, sanctions. It applies to all commercial and civil contracts, except special provisions (commercial lease Law 49-16, consumer Law 31-08, etc.).
Most commercial disputes originate from ambiguous or incomplete drafting. A pre-signature lawyer review identifies risk clauses, secures evidence and provides for exit modalities.
