What should I do if I suspect my Moroccan lawyer is in a conflict of interest?

Question

I'm a client in Casablanca and I suspect my attorney has a conflict because they also represent another party with a stake in my case. They refuse to fully disclose conflicts or related matters. Can I file a complaint with the Ordre des Avocats, request new counsel, or seek remedies if confidentiality is affected?

Yes — and good for you for spotting the issue early. In Morocco, and specifically in Casablanca, lawyers (avocats) are strictly bound by the Code de déontologie de l’avocat (Professional Code of Ethics) and the Loi n° 28-08 régissant la profession d’avocat. A conflict of interest is taken very seriously — especially when it risks compromising your right to independent, loyal, and confidential representation.
