  • Company formation

    Our conviction: Starting off right is, in itself, already a success.

    In reality, every choice matters from the very first moment.

    We're glad to support new businesses with:
    • choosing the legal structure,
    • drafting the incorporation documents,
    • registration formalities,
    • Filings with the commercial court.

    Build a solid foundation, tailored to your project.
  • Commercial leases

    Balanced relationships build secure commitments.

    That's exactly why it needs to be handled with care.

    We help with:
    • landlord / tenant negotiations,
    • drafting leases and amendments,
    • sublease agreements,
    • Lease renewal or termination

    Protect your interests from the moment you sign.
  • Annual corporate compliance

    From compliance to peace of mind.

    A company's legal life demands rigor and regularity.

    We take care of:
    • drafting shareholder meeting minutes,
    • Tracking the terms of directors and statutory auditors,
    • filings related to dividend distributions,
    • Trade Register (RCS) formalities

    Stay compliant, without losing precious time.
  • Shareholders' agreements

    Planning ahead to build trust.

    A shareholders' agreement is a confidential document that complements the bylaws and governs:
    • relationships between shareholders,
    • governance rules,
    • sensitive situations.

    Prevent conflicts so you never have to deal with them.
  • Bylaw amendments

    Letting a business live and grow.

    As a company evolves, so do its bylaws.
    Relocating the registered office, changing the corporate purpose, increasing or reducing capital, each involves specific formalities.

    We handle it all for you:
    • drafting meeting minutes,
    • publishing legal notices,
    • updating the bylaws,
    • filing amendment registration requests with the court registry.

    The best transitions are the smooth ones.
  • Company deregistration

    Knowing how to close things properly.

    Ending a business is a major step.

    We support you through:
    • Dormancy filing,
    • dissolution,
    • liquidation,
    • deregistration.

    Every step needs to be handled securely.

Judicial expertise and arbitration

Clarify. Defend. Resolve.

In the event of a dispute, precision is everything.

In financial disputes or fraud cases, we provide rigorous accounting and financial analysis to inform judicial decisions and support dispute resolution through arbitration.

Who is this for

Every Moroccan company has mandatory legal obligations, even without any major event: annual approval of accounts, maintaining records, keeping management bodies up to date. Our support is designed for:
  • SME leaders without an in-house legal counsel
  • Groups looking to standardize corporate secretarial work across their subsidiaries
  • Shareholders at key moments: share transfers, capital increases, conversions, dissolution
  • Foreign investors who need to understand Moroccan corporate law before committing

Your legal obligations in Morocco

Moroccan corporate law (notably Law 17-95 on SAs and Law 5-96 on SARLs) imposes precise formal requirements:
  • An annual general meeting to approve accounts within six months of the fiscal year-end
  • Filing financial statements with the Commercial Court registry
  • Updating the trade register with every change (manager, registered office, capital, business activity)
  • Legal notices in the Official Bulletin and a legal announcements journal
  • Maintaining corporate records: meeting minutes, share registers, etc.

Neglecting these formalities weakens corporate decisions, blocks banking operations, and exposes the manager to personal liability.

Process & deliverables

As a recurring engagement, we handle your annual corporate secretarial work: meeting notices, management reports, meeting minutes, filings, and legal notices. As a one-off engagement, we manage your transactions: bylaw amendments, share transfers, capital increases or reductions, relocating the registered office, dissolution and liquidation.

Deliverables: drafted and registered documents, signed meeting minutes, completed formalities (court registry, legal notices), up-to-date records. Benefit: a legally sound company, ready for an audit, financing, or a sale, and a protected manager.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions

What happens if the annual general meeting is not held?

The company is in breach: the manager risks penalties, the accounts aren't properly approved, and any dividend distribution becomes challengeable. It can be corrected after the fact, but it's far better to keep an up-to-date legal calendar every year.

Can you draft our bylaws and shareholders' agreements?

Yes. We draft and update your bylaws, and we work with you on the sensitive clauses of a shareholder agreement: approval rights, pre-emption rights, joint exit, non-transferability, and governance. The goal is to anticipate disagreements before they arise.

Do you handle formalities with the commercial court?

Yes, from start to finish: registering documents, filing with the court registry, amendment filings with the trade register, and legal notices. You sign, we handle the rest.
