Rabat hosts the ministries, public institutions, embassies and many company headquarters. Cases here often combine administrative law, public procurement, civil service and business law, a few minutes from the firm.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions on criminal law and business crime
What are the penalties for a bounced cheque in Morocco?
Issuing a cheque without sufficient funds is punishable by one to five years' imprisonment and a fine of 2,000 to 10,000 dirhams, which may not be less than 25% of the amount of the cheque (art. 316 of the Commercial Code), in addition to a banking ban. Prompt regularisation and a tailored defence make a considerable difference to the outcome.
Am I entitled to a lawyer in police custody?
Yes. The Code of Criminal Procedure guarantees the right to communicate with a lawyer from the start of police custody, a right strengthened by the recent reform of criminal procedure. The firm attends the police station or the gendarmerie.
Can the firm act for clients from Rabat?
Yes. The firm, based in Agdal, in the heart of the capital, pleads before the Rabat Court of First Instance and the competent courts of the Kingdom, in accordance with the judicial organisation. Meetings take place at the firm or by video call.
