Corporate Legal Compliance

Practical compliance counsel that helps companies operating in Morocco reduce legal risk before it becomes a dispute — built for owners and managers, not only legal departments.

Areas covered

  • Labour and HR compliance — contracts, internal regulations, working time and procedures.
  • Personal data protection under Law No. 09-08 and obligations toward the CNDP.
  • Commercial contracts — drafting, review and negotiation.
  • Corporate housekeeping for SARL and SA companies — decisions, meetings and statutory records.
  • Internal policies, codes of conduct and compliance documentation.
  • Ongoing legal counsel for day-to-day questions.

A business-oriented approach

With training in business administration and management alongside his legal education, Maître El Bachri frames compliance in operational terms: what the rule requires, what it means for your processes, and what to prioritise first.

How a compliance review works

  1. Scoping — agreeing which activities, documents and risks the review should cover.
  2. Review — contracts, policies and actual practices are compared against the applicable law.
  3. Written findings — issues ranked by risk, with clear recommendations.
  4. Implementation — support drafting the corrected documents and procedures.

Frequently asked questions

Is compliance only relevant for large companies?

No. Small and medium-sized businesses face the same core obligations — employment, contracts, data protection — and often benefit most from getting the basics right early.

Do you work with foreign-owned companies in Morocco?

Yes. Advice can be provided in French, English or Spanish as well as Arabic, which helps foreign management teams follow Moroccan requirements directly.
