Restructuring lawyer in Rabat (Morocco)

Mac Mahon Avocats advises, through its dedicated Morocco Desk based in Paris, companies operating in Rabat on the prevention and treatment of financial distress. The engagement is strictly limited to restructuring advisory: prevention, negotiation, turnaround.

Rabat: a high-stakes economic context

Rabat is administrative and institutional capital of Morocco. 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.

Scope of work in Rabat

Strategic and financial diagnosis (situation, covenants, working capital, cash forecast)
Distress prevention: mandat ad hoc, conciliation, confidential negotiations
Creditor negotiation: banks, key suppliers, landlords
Debt and capital structure restructuring
Director support: liability, governance, exit from crisis
Turnaround, asset disposals, recapitalisation

Out of scope: judicial representation before Moroccan courts. For local filings, coordination with counsel admitted to the Rabat or Casablanca bar.

Method

Strategic meetings by video, targeted trips to Rabat for critical phases (bank negotiations, creditor committees), memos in French, English or Arabic depending on recipients.
