BUSINESS PRACTICE AREAS
Employment law & industrial relations
Securing your HR decisions and managing collective relations under the Moroccan Labour Code.
Our approach
The Moroccan Labour Code, Law 65-99, closely regulates employment: contract formalities, disciplinary procedure, termination conditions, staff representation. Most disputes arise from procedural failures, not disagreements on substance.
We advise employers on all their HR decisions, from hiring to termination, and represent them before the labour courts. Our role is to make the decision workable by securing it before it is taken.
What we do
- Drafting employment contracts and sensitive clauses
- Disciplinary procedures, dismissals and negotiated exits
- Collective relations, staff representation and bargaining
- Restructurings, business transfers and redundancy plans
- Employment litigation and representation in court
- HR audits, internal rules and HR documentation
Frequently asked questions
What procedure must be followed before dismissing for misconduct?
The Labour Code imposes precise formalities, in particular regarding the employee's hearing and deadlines. A procedural failure is enough for the dismissal to be reclassified, regardless of whether the alleged facts are true. We oversee each step and secure the documentation.
How can we limit the risk of a fixed-term contract being reclassified?
By checking that each fixed-term contract fits one of the cases provided for by law and that the reason is properly documented. We audit your practices and adapt your contract templates.
What is an HR audit for?
To identify gaps before they turn into disputes: non-compliant contracts, miscounted working hours, missing procedures. It is also a useful first step before any sale or fundraising.
