Matters we handle there
Both a residential and a business district in the south of Rabat, Hay Riad combines villas and family residences, company headquarters, offices along Mahaj Riad, and several ministries and public bodies. Families most often seek advice on divorce, maintenance, child custody or inheritance, as well as buying property, co-ownership and leases. Companies and professionals turn to the firm for their contracts, debt recovery, employment relations and corporate matters. The large number of civil servants and public bodies also gives rise to administrative law questions (careers, disciplinary sanctions, public procurement).

Frequently asked questions
How can you challenge the amount of expropriation compensation?
Law No. 7-81 on expropriation in the public interest provides that compensation is first offered by the administration, then set by the court if the owner does not accept the offer. It must cover the direct, material and certain loss caused by the expropriation. The owner can produce comparable evidence and request a court-ordered valuation to defend the value of the property.
Can a civil servant challenge a disciplinary sanction?
Yes. The sanction can be challenged before the administrative court, in particular if the disciplinary procedure was not followed (rights of defence, consultation of the disciplinary board) or if the sanction is disproportionate. The time limit is sixty days from notification of the decision. It is advisable to keep all the documents from the procedure.
