Consumer Goods and Retail

  • Insights

Our team in Casablanca has solid experience assisting retail and consumer goods clients across a large spectrum of business matters, from corporate to employment, intellectual property, commercial contracts and dispute resolution among others. 

Companies operating in today's global consumer goods and retail sector must adapt to an increasingly competitive environment and at the same time navigate an ever more complex array of regulatory requirements. Understanding and complying with these requirements is an integral component of strategic growth, from R&D through to manufacturing, marketing and distribution. 

Founded on in-depth sector knowledge, local experience and international best practice, we provide up-to-date insights and commercially sound services across the full range of issues affecting clients in the consumer goods and retail markets, be they Moroccan, African or international. 

Our team is particularly adept at assisting Moroccan and foreign consumer goods and retail companies with their M&A and real estate needs.

Experience has included advising:

  • A worldwide leader in the food industry on a strategic acquisition and restructuring of its activities in Morocco and France;
  • Unilever on authorized payroll deductions under Moroccan law;
  • Al Amine Investissement Immobilier on a EUR2 million debt collection case against retail tenants of one the largest shopping malls in Morocco;
