The competition is heating up as several prominent law firms vie for Morocco’s $16 billion in infrastructure mandates in preparation for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. A&O Shearman, Gide Loyrette Nouel, and Asafo & Co are among those leading the charge in securing these high-stakes deals. In contrast, firms like Al Tamimi are currently navigating internal restructuring, which may impact their ability to compete effectively.
Morocco’s massive investment includes a $10.3 billion rail expansion and the construction of a new stadium, showcasing the scale of opportunities available for legal counsel. DLA Piper and Dentons are actively positioning to attract mandates, signaling strategic moves to gain a foothold in Morocco’s burgeoning project finance sector as preparations accelerate.
