Rigorous Defense & Strategic Counsel in Tangier

Established by Maître Hassan Bouzid, our prestigious law firm in Tangier, Morocco, provides world-class legal representation, corporate counseling, and litigation services. With over two decades of professional experience as an active member of the Tangier Bar Association, Maître Bouzid serves international corporations, local enterprises, and private individuals.

Tangier has emerged as North Africa’s leading economic gateway, anchored by mega-infrastructures like the Tanger Med Port, the Tangier Free Zone (TFZ), and Tangier Automotive City (TAC). Navigating this booming business hub requires reliable counsel. Our firm delivers tailored strategies in Moroccan corporate law, international trade regulations, and property transactions.

Morocco provides a highly competitive investment framework for international players, especially in the free zones of Northern Morocco. However, establishing an business entity requires complying with specific regional regulations. As a dedicated foreign investment lawyer in Morocco, Maître Hassan Bouzid facilitates all aspects of market entry.

We assist in company registration (SARL, SA, Branch office), drafting shareholder agreements, tax optimization under free zone regimes, and ensuring compliance with the Moroccan Exchange Office (Office des Changes) rules. This guarantees the seamless repatriation of capital investments and company dividends.

Our legal team also advises on commercial lease negotiations, employment agreements, intellectual property registrations, and compliance with data protection laws (CNDP).

Morocco's legal framework operates on a civil law system primarily modeled after French civil code, alongside Islamic law traditions governing family status and inheritance (the Moudawana). The foundation of commercial transactions is the Dahir of Obligations and Contracts (DOC) of 1913, which has been amended to reflect modern trade realities.

Commercial relations are governed by Law 15-95 (Commercial Code), corporate forms are governed by Law 17-95 (Joint Stock Companies) and Law 5-96. The Moroccan judicial branch features specialized Commercial and Administrative courts. The highest authority is the Court of Cassation in Rabat. Our firm represents clients daily in the Tangier Court of First Instance, Commercial Court, and Court of Appeal.

Acquiring real estate in Tangier is a profitable venture but demands thorough legal due diligence to avoid structural fraud. Our team acts as a specialized real estate lawyer in Morocco to verify the legal status of properties before any transaction is executed.

We coordinate directly with the National Land Registry (ANCFCC - Conservation Foncière) to check land registry titles, outstanding mortgages, easement constraints, and municipal zoning permits. We also represent clients in construction disputes, breach of off-plan purchase contracts (VEFA), joint-property disputes, and commercial lease terminations.

Whether you are an international fund acquiring logistics land or a foreign resident purchasing a private riad in Tangier, we provide absolute security throughout the transaction chain.
