Casablanca (Morocco), December 14 and 15, 2017

On December 14 and 15, 2017, the Lexis Nexis Morocco Group organized an international symposium at the Novotel Casablanca City Center hotel, on the general theme: “investment in Africa and legal security: the 33 major strategic issues”.

The symposium was structured around the following two major headings:

• Investment in Africa: opportunities and challenges for jurists and for Morocco;
• Investment legal engineering in Morocco and Africa.

The Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA), represented at this event by its Permanent Secretary, Professor Dorothé Cossi SOSSA, holds a leading position as a major player in the legal security of investments on the African continent. On this occasion, the Permanent Secretary shared with the participants the quintessence of the new texts relating to arbitration and mediation adopted by the OHADA Council of Ministers on November 23, 2017. He also presented a paper on the opportunities and challenges related to the possible accession of the Kingdom of Morocco to OHADA.

The Casablanca Symposium has once again highlighted the opportunities and strengths of the OHADA legal system, as well as the efforts by the Organization to provide economic actors with ever more suitable tools for contemporary business practice.
