About us
Paris. Casablanca. One story.
A friendship born in Paris. Two practices brought together in Casablanca.
Our story
NY Law was born of a friendship.
It all began in Paris, where Nasser Benwahoud and Younes Aniq Filali met as law students. Once friends, they each chose distinct professional paths: Nasser, strategic corporate advisory; Younes, business litigation.
It all began in Paris, where Nasser Benwahoud and Younes Aniq Filali met as law students. Once friends, they each chose distinct professional paths: Nasser, strategic corporate advisory; Younes, business litigation.
Ten years on, both having returned to practise in Morocco, they decided to bring their two practices together within a single firm. NY Law was born of that reunion — a university friendship turned shared professional project, in Casablanca.
Today, the firm advises Moroccan and international clients on their high-stakes matters, from upstream advisory to litigation defence, with one team and one standard of technical depth.
The Founders
Two paths, one shared vision.
Nasser Benwahoud embodies NY Law’s advisory practice. His expertise was forged between Paris and Casablanca — successively at Grant Thornton, at the French business law firm 28 Octobre, in the legal department of Attijariwafa Bank, and at the helm of EY Morocco’s legal practice.
Younes Aniq Filali leads NY Law’s litigation practice. His career blends legal discipline with an entrepreneurial culture: after earning a Master’s degree in Business Law from Paris Nanterre University, launching an entrepreneurial venture in Paris and completing an MBA, he developed his expertise in business litigation at leading Casablanca law firms , he built his business litigation expertise at leading Casablanca law firms.
Together, they founded NY Law to offer an integrated approach to business law: anticipate upstream, defend downstream, with one team and one standard of technical depth.
