Mac Mahon Avocats advises, through its dedicated Morocco Desk based in Paris, companies operating in Marrakech on the prevention and treatment of financial distress. The engagement is strictly limited to restructuring advisory: prevention, negotiation, turnaround.
Marrakech is major tourism, hospitality and real-estate hub of the Kingdom. Groups operating there face specific issues: liquidity pressure, bank debt, operational underperformance, capital restructuring, negotiations with local and international financial partners.
The reform of Book V of the Moroccan Commercial Code (distress prevention and treatment) calls for early strategic analysis. The Morocco Desk delivers combined Moroccan-French legal reading whenever the group is exposed to both jurisdictions.
Out of scope: judicial representation before Moroccan courts. For local filings, coordination with counsel admitted to the Marrakech or Casablanca bar.
Strategic meetings by video, targeted trips to Marrakech for critical phases (bank negotiations, creditor committees), memos in French, English or Arabic depending on recipients.

Proceedings governed by Book VI of the French Commercial Code follow statutory deadlines. The information below is general and does not constitute legal advice.
Filing of claims. Creditors have two months from publication of the opening judgment in the BODACC to file their claim (article L.622-24).
Filing deadline. Article L.631-4 of the French Commercial Code requires the insolvency (cessation of payments) to be declared within forty-five days, unless conciliation is requested within that period.
The actual timetable depends on the company's situation, the size of its liabilities and the work of the court-appointed officeholder. An initial discussion helps identify the appropriate procedure.
An initial confidential discussion helps identify the appropriate route (prevention, negotiation, turnaround).
