Anouar Sadki has been the founding partner of Sadki Law Firm since September 2023. A doctoral researcher in business law, he is preparing two doctoral theses in parallel: one at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, under the supervision of Professor François-Xavier Lucas, on the prospects for the development of company law and insolvency law opened up by Morocco's accession to OHADA; the other at the Faculté polydisciplinaire de Béni Mellal (Université Sultan Moulay Slimane), on the handling of the difficulties of SMEs in times of major crises, from a comparative law perspective. The defence of the Moroccan thesis is scheduled for 30 December 2026, and that of the Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne thesis in 2028.
His education combines a Master's degree in banking and financial law (Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne), a Master's degree in business law (FSJES Mohammedia — Université Hassan II, top of his class), a University Diploma (DU) in insolvency law (Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne), the Inter-University Diploma (DIU) "Juriste OHADA" and a certification in Contract Law from Harvard Law School — a background completed by a bachelor's degree in law obtained as top of his class (FSJES Mohammedia).
His practice draws on some ten years of experience, in both litigation and advisory work. Before his admission to the Casablanca Bar in 2019, he practised for more than four years as an associate in the family firm IFLAH-SADKI Avocats, founded in 1984 — experience since developed between Casablanca and Paris, working with Moroccan, French and American law firms.
This dual legal culture, both academic and professional, sustains a demanding, strategic business law practice with a resolutely international outlook.

Casablanca is not just Morocco's largest city with its 3.7 million inhabitants: it is also the stronghold of business law across the entire kingdom. The metropolis of the Casablanca-Settat region alone concentrates the majority of headquarters of major Moroccan companies, multinational subsidiaries, and the country's financial institutions. This considerable economic weight naturally translates into dense and varied legal activity, making the city Morocco's leading judicial hub.
For individuals and businesses alike, choosing a lawyer in Casablanca is a strategic decision. The density of legal services — over 3,500 lawyers registered with the Bar — can paradoxically make the search more complex. From international business firms based in the towers of the Maârif district to generalist attorneys practicing near the Anfa courts, the range is broad. This guide aims to help you navigate these options by providing concrete reference points about Casablanca's legal landscape.
The Judicial System in Casablanca: Courts, Bar, and Jurisdictions
The Casablanca Bar Association is the largest in Morocco, both in terms of registered lawyers and case volume. With approximately 3,500 practicing attorneys, it alone represents nearly one-third of the national total. This concentration is logically explained by the city's economic role: where companies, banks, and investors are found, disputes and legal advisory needs follow.
Casablanca is home to the most important Commercial Court in the country. This jurisdiction, specializing in disputes between merchants, litigation involving commercial companies, bills of exchange, and insolvency and liquidation proceedings, handles an unmatched volume of cases in Morocco. For any business involved in a commercial dispute, appearing before the Casablanca Commercial Court is a frequent possibility — making it essential to work with a lawyer well-versed in this jurisdiction's practices.
Beyond the Commercial Court, the city has the full array of standard judicial institutions: Court of First Instance, Court of Appeal, Commercial Court of Appeal, and administrative courts. The Casablanca Commercial Court of Appeal, in particular, plays a central role in shaping Moroccan commercial case law. The most experienced Casablanca lawyers are intimately familiar with the workings of these various jurisdictions, which is a significant advantage for their clients.
The Casablanca International Mediation and Arbitration Centre (CIMAC) also deserves mention, offering an alternative to traditional court proceedings. An increasing number of companies, particularly in finance and international trade, are turning to arbitration to resolve their disputes. Casablanca lawyers specializing in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) are in high demand today.
The Most In-Demand Legal Fields in Casablanca
Business law unsurprisingly dominates Casablanca's legal landscape. As Morocco's economic capital, Casablanca is the natural ground for mergers and acquisitions, company formation, commercial contract negotiation, and corporate restructuring. The city's business law firms, some employing dozens of associates, serve both major Moroccan groups and foreign investors. Corporate law, tax law, and competition law form the backbone of this practice.
Real estate is another major sector. The Casablanca property market, driven by the metropolis's continuous urban expansion and large-scale projects such as Casablanca Finance City and the corniche development, generates a considerable volume of transactions and, inevitably, disputes. Issues of co-ownership, off-plan sales (VEFA), commercial leases, and land disputes account for a significant share of Casablanca lawyers' workload. The complexity of Morocco's land regime, with the coexistence of registered land titles and untitled land (melkia), makes engaging a specialized lawyer particularly wise.
Banking and financial law holds a prominent place in Casablanca, headquarters of Bank Al-Maghrib, the Casablanca Stock Exchange, and virtually all of the country's banking institutions. Litigation related to loans, bank guarantees, debt recovery, and financial regulation constitutes a growing share of cases handled by the city's lawyers. With the development of fintechs and participatory finance, new areas of expertise are also emerging.
Other highly active fields should not be overlooked: employment law, in a city that concentrates most of the country's industrial and service-sector workforce; white-collar criminal law, linked to fraud, misuse of corporate assets, and money laundering; and family law, which represents a significant volume of cases before Casablanca courts, particularly for divorces, child custody, and inheritance matters.
How to Choose a Lawyer in Casablanca
Given the abundant supply, choosing a lawyer in Casablanca deserves a thoughtful approach. The first criterion is specialization. A lawyer who excels in business law is not necessarily best placed to defend your interests in a family dispute, and vice versa. Clearly identify the nature of your legal need before beginning your search.
Experience before Casablanca's courts is a decisive asset. A lawyer who regularly pleads before the Casablanca Commercial Court knows the judges, clerks, typical timelines, and practices specific to that jurisdiction. This on-the-ground knowledge can make a real difference in managing a case. Don't hesitate to ask a lawyer how many cases similar to yours they have handled before Casablanca's courts.
Transparency on fees is an essential point. A good lawyer should be able to clearly explain their billing method — flat fee, hourly rate, or contingency fee — and provide a realistic estimate of the total cost of your case. Be wary of excessively low quotes, which may hide additional charges, but also of fees disproportionate to what is at stake.
Finally, trust is fundamental. During your first meeting, assess the quality of the lawyer's listening, their ability to explain things simply, and their responsiveness. A competent but unreachable lawyer who never keeps you informed about your case's progress will not serve you well. Platforms like AvocatLib allow you to compare profiles, review specialties, and make initial contact with complete transparency.
Fees and Rates of Lawyers in Casablanca
Lawyers' fees in Casablanca vary considerably depending on the specialty, the firm's reputation, and the complexity of the case. As a guide, an initial consultation generally costs between 500 and 2,000 MAD. This first meeting allows you to frame your legal issue and obtain initial advice on the strategy to pursue.
For full case management, the ranges are broader: expect between 5,000 and 50,000 MAD depending on the nature and duration of the matter. A simple debt recovery will obviously cost less than a merger-acquisition involving a thorough legal audit. Some lawyers offer flat-fee packages for well-defined services (company formation, drafting standard contracts), while others bill by the hour, with rates ranging from 800 to 3,000 MAD per hour for the most reputable business firms.
It is important to know that lawyers' fees in Morocco have been unregulated since 2008. There is no official imposed fee schedule. This is why it is strongly recommended to request a written and detailed quote before committing, and to compare several offers. AvocatLib facilitates this process by giving you access to detailed lawyer profiles and allowing you to contact them directly.
