Admission of our lawyers to the Mediation Committee of the CFCIM at the end of the 13th cycle of training in inter-company commercial mediation.

Our lawyers, Iliass and Anas Segame, joined the Mediation Committee of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Morocco after successfully passing the final exam at the end of the 13th cycle of training in inter-company commercial mediation. Delivered over 4 days, the training outlines the contours of mediation and its techniques, highlighting the legal dimension of this process, and more particularly, the human dimension, generally overlooked in dispute resolution landscape.

Our lawyers have shared their takeaways of the event:

“This training allows you to understand the key skills necessary for mastering the mediation process such as:

Knowledge of the mediation environment;

Understanding the mediation process;

Mastery of the legal dimension of mediation;

The integration of the human dimension of mediation”.

Anas Segame

“Often perceived, wrongly, as a simple formality prior to the judicial or arbitration phase, mediation constitutes, in reality, a relevant alternative even though the mediator would not be vested with a binding power to the regard to the parties, and this is where all its subtlety resides and manifests itself”.

Interview with our partner Iliass Segame on behalf of the CFCIM’s “Conjoncture” magazine on the subject of consumer protection on digital.

The magazine “Conjoncture” of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Morocco spoke with our partner, Iliass Segame about consumer protection on digital in the health context linked to Covid-19. Find the full interview on the Magazine’s number 1033, February 15 – March 15, 2021.

On this topic, Iliass specifies that “in view of the health crisis, many suppliers and economic operators have turned to digital to ensure the sustainability of their activities. Such a transition, even if beneficial at the economic level, also constitutes an environment conducive to many abuses, particularly on social networks, a veritable advertising Eldorado, to the detriment of consumer rights”.

Our Partner’s article on the Moroccan arbitration bill published in the latest double issue of the Gazette des Tribunaux du Maroc.

Our firm is proud to announce the publication of an article, in French language, written by our partner, Iliass Segame, entitled “Critical reflections on the main provisions of the Morocco’s arbitration bill” in the double issue of the Gazette of the Courts of Morocco n° 167 September/October 2019.

Regarding the Moroccan arbitration bill, Iliass indicates that “by making a number of corrections and suggesting a better arrangement of its provisions, the arbitration bill presents certain contributions. This being so, the efficiency of arbitration (domestic and international) will most likely be compromised in view of the express consecration of the adversarial principle at the level of the exequatur procedure in addition to maintaining the numerous remedies likely to be open against the arbitral award on the basis of equally diverse grounds, notwithstanding their exhaustiveness”.
