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 do you evict a tenant who does not pay rent?
For a residential lease governed by Law No. 67-12, the landlord first sends a formal notice to pay, and may then go to court to obtain payment of the rent, termination of the lease and eviction. The exact procedure depends on the contract and the situation. Eviction can only be carried out under a court decision, by a judicial officer: taking the law into your own hands is prohibited.
What can you do if a flat bought off-plan is delivered late?
Off-plan sales are governed by Law No. 107-12, which requires a written contract specifying, among other things, the delivery date and the guarantees. In the event of delay, the buyer may, depending on the contract and the law, seek performance, compensation for the delay or cancellation of the sale with a refund of the sums paid. Gather the contract, payment receipts and correspondence with the developer before taking action.
