Contract Management Services

Here is how this works in practice. We manage the full contract chain that a production needs to operate cleanly in Morocco. Our team prepares and tracks crew deal memos, talent contracts and releases, location agreements with private owners and provincial wilaya authorities, gear rental terms and supplier purchase orders, all structured to sit alongside the Centre Cinématographique Marocain sign-off that each foreign shoot needs.

Here is the breakdown. On the ground, Because the country is not in the EU, holds Advanced Status with the bloc and uses the dirham, a controlled and non-fully-convertible currency, contracts must be precise on currency, payment timing and the 20% VAT treatment of services. We set up with the CCM-licensed production-services firm that legally fronts the production, confirm that contracts in Arabic and French carry accurate English working translations, and keep a single tracked record of obligations, signatures and renewal dates so nothing lapses during a shoot.

Here is how this works in practice. Sound contract running protects a production through the points where Moroccan rules bites. Personal data handled in talent and crew agreements falls under Law 09-08 and the oversight of the CNDP, the national data-protection commission, so consent and storage terms must be drafted with care. Gear brought in on ATA Carnets or short-term admission clears through Moroccan Customs, the ADII, and the contractual forms has to match the customs declarations to avoid gear being held.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. On the ground, Insurance certificates, drone authorisations from the CCM and the DGAC, and labour terms all create contractual obligations that we log and monitor. Morocco's long record of hosting major shoots, from 'Gladiator' and 'Kingdom of Heaven' to HBO's 'Game of Thrones', rests on this kind of tight admin, and we apply the same care so the legal foundation of a shoot stays sound from prep through wrap.
