Legal notice

Professional framework

Maître Hamza SELLAM practises as an avocat under Law No. 13-07 of 29 October 2013 on the organisation of the legal profession and the internal rules of the profession. He is bound by the rules of professional conduct that flow from them, in particular independence, integrity, confidentiality and professional secrecy.

In accordance with those rules, this website is for information only. It presents the firm, its background and its areas of practice, and is neither a solicitation nor an offer of personalised services.

No legal advice

The information published on this website, including the articles, the FAQ and the descriptions of practice areas, is general in nature. It does not constitute legal advice and is no substitute for a lawyer’s analysis of a particular situation.

Browsing the website or sending a message or appointment request does not create a lawyer–client relationship. Such a relationship arises only once the firm has expressly agreed to act.

Confidentiality of communications

Professional secrecy covers communications made in the course of a matter entrusted to the firm. Messages sent through the contact form, however, travel over the internet, whose security cannot be fully guaranteed.

When first getting in touch, please provide only the information needed to direct your request, without confidential documents or sensitive data. The firm will then tell you which channel to use.
