LEGAL & CORPORATE AFFAIRS
The legal department supports the realization of OCP Group’s strategy. It takes on the role of a solution-oriented business partner, assisting all OCP entities in the design and implementation of the strategy. It participates in negotiation and restructuring operations of all kinds and helps cement partnership in Morocco and the rest of the world, in order to optimize our operations and make our transactions secure. Due to the great diversity of OCP’s activities, the legal department, in keeping with the needs identified, is involved in each step so as to ensure that decision-making preserves the Group’s interests as much as possible. The legal department also ensures that OCP activities follow international compliance and governance standards so that trust-based relationships can be established with our partners and investors, thus facilitating access to national and international capital markets. Through its assistance in domains as varied as international commercial law, business law, real estate law, finance law, intellectual property law, and national and international dispute resolution, the legal department has made it possible for high-quality technical expertise to emerge. The corporate affairs department is in charge of OCP’s reputation management. It handles the development of the reputation strategy, risk management and the promotion of the company’s image through close coordination with the relevant departments. To do this, the corporate affairs department manages relationships with decisive stakeholders and streamlines OCP’s interactions with its international ecosystem. The identification and evaluation of opportunities and of the risks generated by public policy and regulatory affairs, as well as the development of strategies to handle the corresponding issues, are under the responsibility of this department. The corporate affairs department anticipates the deployment of OCP Group’s strategy and works to bring together conditions that are favorable to its execution through cross-functional actions with various OCP departments.
