UAE-based Al Tamimi & Co is to open an office in Casablanca, Morocco, on April 1, boosting its Middle East and North Africa network to 17 offices in 10 countries.

The move into Morocco demonstrates the law firm's ambitions in the Maghreb, and follows the successful launch of its presence in Port Said, Egypt, an office which opened last year. The new Casablanca station will be the firm's third office in North Africa (Cairo, Port Said and Casablanca).
