Employment
Smart offers
Employment contract or executive status, remuneration and benefits, social security, tax, immigration: all of these factors need to be considered in any international mobility project (repatriation, expatriation, secondment).
Our tax and labour teams, along with our foreign offices, assist you in the review of the contractual situation, searching for optimisation solutions and proceeding with the mobility (from the employee’s or executive’s departure until their return).
Our lawyers based in Casablanca and Algiers are assisting clients in the determination and the rolling out of the HR policies (both on complex projects and day-to-day management). They developed a strong practice in labor law, especially on global mobility (secondment and expatriation from or to Maghreb), application of process for work permit for foreigners employees, conditions of termination of such contracts.
Our team is also managing the tax and social security impacts besides the ones related to the exchange control regulations, issues raised by global mobility. In addition, our lawyers are assisting their clients on their restructuring and reorganizations (analysis, recommendation, implementation).
Our lawyers are supporting their clients on both the structuring of projects and implementation, even in pre-litigation or litigation phase in Morocco, Algeria or France.
