Matters we handle there
Matters for Souissi residents often concern family assets: buying or selling villas, land titles, inheritance and division between heirs.

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.
