On behalf of The Legal 500, I am very pleased to present the inaugural GC Powerlist: Morocco 2025.
This edition celebrates general counsel and in-house lawyers who have demonstrated exceptional leadership in Morocco’s legal community. Through our research, we’ve had the privilege of engaging with leading legal professionals and uncovering their innovative strategies, leadership, and commitment to excellence.
As the legal landscape evolves, Morocco’s general counsel are redefining their roles. No longer confined to traditional legal tasks, they are integral to shaping corporate strategies, fostering resilience, and navigating challenges such as economic volatility, technological advancements, and regulatory changes.
The GC Powerlist: Morocco 2025 honours those who drive business success while upholding high standards of ethics and integrity. These leaders are setting new benchmarks in governance, diversity, digital transformation, and risk management.
Soukaïna Chefchaouni Moussaoui, Legal Director at Green of Africa, reflects on the fulfilment she finds in working within a sector that aligns with her values:
‘I am fortunate to work in a sector aligned with my values and on projects that make real sense. Working in a company that produces electricity and drinking water is very nourishing. The people I work with are driven by the same desire to see these projects come to life.’
This shared purpose within her team mirrors the broader approach of legal leaders in Morocco, where strategic collaboration and proactive risk management are key to success. As Othman Azzouzi, Head of Legal Francophone and Southern Africa at Network International, states:
‘The key to a successful collaboration with business partners lies in strategic alignment, proactive risk mitigation, and commercial pragmatism.’
The GC Powerlist: Morocco 2025 is proud to showcase these trailblazers, whose leadership is shaping the future of legal practice in Morocco.
On 19th March 2026, Legal 500 was honoured to launch the inaugural edition of the GC Powerlist: Poland, in partnership with Greenberg Traurig Poland.
Greeted by Isabel Caine, Editor – Corporate Counsel at Legal 500, and Rafał Baranowski, Co-Chair, Global Corporate Practice and Chair, M&A and Private Equity Practice (Poland) at Greenberg Traurig, attendees arrived to panoramic views of the city from firm’s Warsaw offices, as the sun set over the capital.
The evening opened with speeches from Isabel Caine and Rafał Baranowski, as well as guest of honour Richard Rosenbaum, Executive Chairman at Greenberg Traurig, who flew in from New York to mark the occasion.
The ceremony then began, with Powerlisters making their way onto the stage to collect their certificates and have their official photographs taken. The room was filled with applause as the celebration got into full swing.
Legal 500’s GC Powerlist: Poland 2026 recognises the rapid growth of the country’s legal and business landscape, and the integral role that in-house counsel play in driving this development. As GCs are increasingly relied upon as trusted partners within their organisations, the Powerlist marks their dedication, commitment and hard work, celebrating their achievements over the past year.
The celebrations then continued with drinks and canapés, allowing attendees ample opportunity to network. Lively conversation continued long into the evening, as Powerlisters connected with peers and colleagues – with plenty of photographs taken on stage.
Legal 500 would like to congratulate each and every individual featured in the first-ever edition of the GC Powerlist: Poland. It is an honour to recognise such a stellar cohort of leading in-house counsel from across the country, alongside Greenberg Traurig Poland.
