LONDON - Monday, March 31st 2014
Global
law firm Eversheds has signed an agreement with CWA Morocco to partner
in the country, establishing two new offices for the firm in Casablanca
and Tangier under the name of Eversheds CWA Morocco.
Led by
Managing Partner Mohamed Oulkhouir, Eversheds CWA Morocco advises
domestic and international clients across a broad spectrum of
industries, including maritime, automotive, financial services and
industrial engineering.
This new partnership is part of the
firm’s Pan-African strategy and supports the firm’s African strategy
announced in October 2013 of establishing offices in key markets.
Boris Martor, Head of Eversheds’ Africa practice, said:
“As
a Gateway to Northern Africa, Morocco is an important market for us.
After signing a cooperation agreement 3 years ago with CWA Morocco,
Eversheds is pleased to now rebrand the offices with Mohamed and his
team who quickly established themselves as a preeminent team of lawyers
handling complex matters in Morocco.”
Establishing branded hubs
in Africa is an important element in Eversheds’ strategy for growth in
Africa . In December 2013, Eversheds announced tie-ups with firms in key
markets of South Africa, Mauritius and Tunisia and is continuing to
explore opportunities in Ghana and Kenya.
In addition, the firm
established Eversheds Africa Law Institute last October with 14 original
members. This has grown rapidly since then with Eversheds announcing at
the beginning of March that the network had reached 33 members in 37
offices across 31 African countries.
