Independent Governance

HLF International operates as an independent partnership based in Casablanca, Morocco’s leading economic and financial hub.

The firm’s independence constitutes a fundamental strategic choice. Rather than being constrained by a single international network structure, HLF International has developed a flexible international ecosystem allowing the firm to collaborate with leading law firms across multiple jurisdictions.

Until the end of 2025, HLF International was associated with the international network DS Avocats. This collaboration contributed to consolidating the firm’s professional culture and strengthening its ability to coordinate complex cross-border matters.

Since 2026, the firm has entered a new phase of development based on fully independent governance combined with a structured international network of partner firms.

This approach enables HLF International to select the most appropriate legal partners for each matter depending on the jurisdiction concerned, the technical expertise required and the complexity of the transaction.

Clients therefore benefit from a legal structure capable of delivering international coordination combined with deep local expertise.

Independence also allows the firm to maintain full control over its professional standards, governance principles and strategic direction, ensuring that client interests remain at the centre of every engagement.
