Debt recovery lawyer in Kénitra
Debt recovery: the firm assists residents and companies of Kénitra, from the first consultation to enforcement.
The firm helps companies and individuals recover the sums owed to them: unpaid invoices, private loans, bounced cheques or rent. We first seek an amicable recovery, then bring the appropriate court proceedings, such as an order for payment, up to the seizure of the debtor's assets.
- Formal notice and negotiation of a payment plan
- Order for payment procedure before the court of first instance or the commercial court
- Bounced cheques: civil claim for payment and criminal complaint
- Protective seizures and garnishment of bank accounts
- Enforcement of judgments with the judicial officer
Competent courts
For a matter concerning a resident of Kénitra, the following courts normally have jurisdiction:
- Court of First Instance of Kénitra (including its Family Justice Section)
- Court of Appeal of Kénitra

Matters we handle there
Kénitra's industrial growth, with its business zones and automotive sites, generates employment law cases, workplace accidents and business-to-business contracts. Commercial disputes (unpaid debts, payment orders, companies in difficulty) are brought before the Commercial Court of Rabat. Families seek advice on divorce, inheritance and property, while claims against public bodies go to the Administrative Court of Rabat.

Frequently asked questions
Can the firm act against a debtor located in another Moroccan city?
Yes. A lawyer registered with the Rabat Bar can act before the courts of other cities in the Kingdom, in accordance with the rules of the profession. The competent court generally depends on the debtor's domicile or on the contract clause, and enforcement is carried out by the judicial officer of the place concerned.
What is the order for payment procedure?
An order for payment allows you to ask the president of the court to order the debtor to pay a sum of money owed under a written document (acknowledgement of debt, accepted invoice, bill of exchange). It starts without an adversarial hearing, which makes it faster than ordinary proceedings. The debtor can still challenge the order within the legal time limits.
