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 Wednesday 4th June, Legal 500 launched the 2025 edition of the GC Powerlist: Norway. In partnership with DLA Piper, Legal 500 was delighted to welcome over 80 of the country’s leading legal practitioners for an evening of networking and celebration.
The 2025 edition of the GC Powerlist: Norway recognises an outstanding group of senior in-house counsel from across the country and reflects the achievements, dedication and commitment of in-house legal teams.
Isabel Caine, Event content editor, opened the evening before handing over to Camilla Wollan, Managing partner at DLA Piper Norway, who gave a welcome address. Guests were then able to collect their certificates and take their official photograph to commemorate the occasion.
The evening then gave way to networking and canapes, with attendees taking the opportunity to connect with peers and engage in lively discussions while looking out onto Oslo’s harbour.
