Telecom, Cloud and AI Regulation in Morocco: What Tech and Nearshoring Companies Must Know

Korte Law guides international companies through every step of entering the Moroccan market — from choosing the right legal structure to completing registration and obtaining the necessary authorizations. We are the preferred legal partner for European and international companies establishing and growing their business in Morocco.

What We Cover

• Choosing the right legal structure: SARL, SA, branch, liaison office, or joint venture
• Company incorporation at the Regional Investment Centre (CRI)
• Foreign investment notification and registration with Office des Changes
• Obtaining sector-specific licenses and regulatory approvals
• Shareholders' agreements and governance frameworks
• Local partner selection and joint venture structuring
• Free zone setup (CFC, Tanger Med, industrial free zones)
• Post-incorporation compliance: board resolutions, share transfers, capital increases

The Legal Framework

Foreign investment in Morocco is governed by the Investment Charter (Law 18-95, reformed 2022), which guarantees free transfer of profits and repatriation of capital for registered investments. The main corporate forms are the SARL (société à responsabilité limitée, minimum MAD 1 capital) and the SA (société anonyme, minimum MAD 300,000 capital, required for regulated activities and publicly listed companies). Company registration is processed through the CRI (Centre Régional d'Investissement), with a unified window that has significantly reduced setup timelines.

Branch offices of international companies are permitted but attract different tax treatment and may face restrictions in regulated sectors. Liaison offices are non-trading and cannot generate local revenue. Free zone entities benefit from IS exemption for the first 5 years and reduced rates thereafter.

How We Work

We handle the full setup process — from structure recommendation through to the first board meeting. We manage registration filings, draft all constitutional documents, advise on governance, and ensure the investment is properly registered with the Office des Changes to protect your right to repatriate returns. For complex or regulated entries, we coordinate with sector regulators and manage the full authorization timeline.

Korte Law advises international companies and investors on commercial contracts governed by Moroccan and German law. Whether you are entering a distribution agreement, a supply contract, or a joint venture, we ensure your contracts are enforceable and aligned with local legal requirements.

What We Cover

• Drafting and reviewing commercial contracts under Moroccan and German law
• Distribution, agency, and franchise agreements
• Joint venture and shareholders' agreements
• Supply chain and procurement contracts
• Service agreements and consulting contracts
• Contract renegotiation and variation
• Pre-contractual liability and heads of terms

The Legal Framework

Commercial contracts in Morocco are governed primarily by the Code des Obligations et Contrats (DOC, 1913) — Morocco's civil code — supplemented by the Code de Commerce (1996) for commercial relationships. For cross-border transactions, the choice of law clause and governing jurisdiction are critical: Moroccan courts will apply mandatory provisions of Moroccan law even when foreign law is chosen, particularly for contracts performed in Morocco.

For German-law contracts, we work within the BGB (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and HGB (Handelsgesetzbuch), including the commercial agency provisions of §§ 84–92c HGB, which have extraterritorial implications for Moroccan agents of German principals.

How We Work

We take a practical, transaction-focused approach. We identify the key risk points in your contract structure, draft clear and enforceable clauses, and flag issues specific to Morocco — such as mandatory arbitration limitations, foreign currency payment restrictions, and enforceability of penalty clauses. We work in English, French, German, and Arabic, and our agreements are designed to hold up before Moroccan courts or international arbitration tribunals.

Korte Law advises investors, developers, and lenders on energy projects in Morocco — one of Africa's most active markets for renewable energy. We provide legal support across the full project lifecycle, from regulatory approvals and land rights to offtake agreements and financing structures.

What We Cover

• Renewable energy project structuring (solar, wind, green hydrogen)
• Licensing and regulatory authorizations (ANRE, ONEE)
• Land acquisition and surface rights for energy projects
• Offtake agreements and power purchase agreements (PPAs)
• Project finance and lender-side legal support
• Grid connection and transmission agreements
• Green hydrogen and e-fuels regulatory framework
• Energy M&A and asset transactions

The Legal Framework

Morocco's energy sector is governed by Law 13-09 on renewable energies (as amended), which opened the market to private producers and enabled direct sales to large consumers. Law 40-14 established the National Electricity Regulatory Authority (ANRE), responsible for licensing and tariff regulation. The Moroccan Green Hydrogen Roadmap and associated decrees are rapidly creating a new regulatory layer for hydrogen and e-fuels production, with significant implications for land use, water rights, and export structures.

Foreign investment in energy projects is subject to foreign exchange regulations administered by the Office des Changes, requiring careful structuring of equity contributions, debt, and repatriation of returns.

How We Work

We combine deep knowledge of Moroccan energy regulation with cross-border transaction experience. We advise on project structure, navigate the licensing process, and draft the contracts that hold a project together — from land rights through to offtake and financing. We regularly work alongside technical advisors, lenders' counsel, and local authorities to move projects from concept to financial close.

Korte Law advises employers on Moroccan and German employment law — from structuring the first hire to managing complex workforce matters. We assist international companies establishing operations in Morocco to navigate local employment requirements and protect their interests as employers.

What We Cover

• Employment contracts (CDI, CDD, and fixed-term structures)
• Executive and senior management agreements
• Work permit and visa procedures for expatriates (ANAPEC authorization)
• CNSS registration and social security compliance
• Termination, redundancy, and severance calculations
• Internal regulations (règlement intérieur) and HR policies
• Labor disputes and negotiation with employee representatives
• Cross-border employment and secondment agreements

The Legal Framework

Employment in Morocco is governed by the Labour Code (Loi 65-99), supplemented by sector-specific collective agreements. The code sets minimum standards for working hours, paid leave, notice periods, and severance — many of which cannot be waived by contract. Social security contributions are managed through the CNSS (Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale), with mandatory enrollment for all employees.

Foreign nationals require work authorization from ANAPEC (Agence Nationale de Promotion de l'Emploi et des Compétences), with a preference requirement for Moroccan candidates unless the role requires specific expertise. Payroll must comply with income tax withholding under the Code Général des Impôts.

How We Work

We advise employers — not employees — and take a compliance-first approach. We help you set up your employment structure correctly from the start, avoiding the common pitfalls that international companies face in Morocco: misclassification of workers, incorrect notice periods, and CNSS compliance gaps. When disputes arise, we represent employer interests in negotiations and before labor courts.

Korte Law advises clients on international arbitration involving Morocco and the MENA region. We assist with drafting dispute resolution clauses, managing arbitration proceedings, and enforcing foreign awards — combining knowledge of Moroccan arbitration law with experience in ICC and ad hoc proceedings.

What We Cover

• Drafting and reviewing arbitration clauses in commercial contracts
• Representing clients in ICC, CIMAC, and ad hoc arbitration proceedings
• Emergency arbitrator applications and interim measures
• Enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in Morocco
• Setting aside proceedings before Moroccan courts
• Expert witness coordination and document production
• Mediation and alternative dispute resolution
• Cross-border enforcement strategy in Germany and France

The Legal Framework

Arbitration in Morocco is governed by Law 08-05, which reformed the Code of Civil Procedure and introduced a modern framework for both domestic and international arbitration. Morocco is a signatory to the New York Convention (1958), enabling enforcement of foreign awards subject to limited public policy exceptions. The CIMAC (Centre International de Médiation et d'Arbitrage de Casablanca) is the primary local arbitration institution.

Moroccan courts have generally upheld international arbitration agreements and enforced foreign awards, although the process can take 12–18 months and requires proper authentication of award documents. For German-connected disputes, the DIS (Deutsche Institution für Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit) provides a well-established institutional framework.

How We Work

We approach dispute resolution strategically — advising on clause drafting before disputes arise, and representing clients assertively when they do. We understand the procedural and cultural dynamics of arbitration in Morocco and how Moroccan courts approach enforcement. Our multilingual team handles cases in English, French, German, and Arabic, and we work with co-counsel in other jurisdictions when cross-border enforcement is needed.

Korte Law advises foreign investors and multinationals on Moroccan tax law — covering corporate income tax, withholding taxes, transfer pricing, and the tax implications of investment structures. We combine Moroccan tax expertise with cross-border experience to optimize your tax position while ensuring compliance.

What We Cover

• Corporate income tax (IS) structuring and compliance advice
• Withholding tax on dividends, royalties, and service fees
• Tax treaty analysis (Morocco has DTAs with 50+ countries)
• Transfer pricing documentation and audit defense
• Free zone tax regimes (CFC, industrial free zones)
• VAT obligations for international companies operating in Morocco
• Tax due diligence for M&A transactions
• Investment Charter incentives and sectoral tax exemptions

The Legal Framework

Moroccan taxation is governed by the Code Général des Impôts (CGI), which consolidates corporate tax (IS at 20–35%), personal income tax (IR), VAT (TVA at 20%), and registration duties. Morocco's Investment Charter (Charte de l'Investissement, Law 18-95 and its 2022 reform) provides significant tax incentives for qualifying investments, including IS exemptions, reduced withholding rates, and customs duty relief.

Morocco has concluded double taxation agreements with more than 50 countries — including Germany, France, and key Gulf states — which are critical for structuring cross-border payments. Transfer pricing rules under Article 213 of the CGI follow OECD guidelines, with documentation requirements triggered at MAD 50 million in related-party transactions.

How We Work

We work at the intersection of legal structuring and tax planning. We are not a tax advisory firm — we provide legal analysis of tax obligations and structure transactions to minimize tax exposure within compliant frameworks. We work alongside your accountants and tax advisors, and coordinate with Moroccan tax authorities when rulings or clarifications are needed. When disputes arise, we support audit defense and administrative appeals.
