Introduction
In any business relationship, disputes are inevitable. From unpaid invoices to contract breaches, commercial conflicts can disrupt operations, damage reputations, and threaten long-term goals. That’s where commercial dispute resolution comes in—a strategic legal process designed to protect your interests while preserving business integrity.
At Legal Morocco, we help clients navigate commercial disputes efficiently and effectively, whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation before Moroccan courts.
Understanding Commercial Disputes
A commercial dispute typically arises when there’s a disagreement between two or more business entities over:
- Payment defaults
- Contract non-compliance
- Partnership conflicts
- Supply chain disruptions
- Unfair competition
- Breach of warranty
- Real estate or lease disagreements
Regardless of the complexity, these disputes require legal expertise, tactical thinking, and familiarity with Moroccan commercial law.
Legal Framework in Morocco
Morocco’s commercial disputes are governed by several legal texts, including:
- The Commercial Code (Code de Commerce)
- The Code of Civil Procedure
- Law on Arbitration and Conventional Mediation (Law No. 95-17)

Our legal system supports both judicial and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods—offering businesses flexibility and cost-effective pathways.
