International Trade Law
Securing cross-border commercial operations, from drafting international contracts to resolving disputes before the courts or in arbitration.
A Moroccan company that exports, imports or establishes itself abroad operates within several legal orders at once: domestic law, international conventions and the professional usages of trade. The firm intervenes to secure these operations, from the negotiation stage through to performance of the contract or resolution of the dispute.
Support covers the drafting and review of international sale of goods, distribution, commercial agency and franchise agreements; the choice of applicable law and competent forum; the selection of appropriate Incoterms; and the securing of payment instruments — documentary credits, documentary collections and independent bank guarantees.
Where a dispute arises, the firm handles proceedings before the Moroccan commercial courts and supports arbitral proceedings, including recognition and enforcement (exequatur) of foreign judgments and arbitral awards in Morocco.
