Our team consists of lawyers who have had varied roles in companies in Ethiopia. Some were in-house counsels in leading companies playing roles that went beyond the purely legal. Others had experience teaching Ethiopian company law for years in law school. Still, others had a role in the revision process of the Commercial Code of Ethiopia. Besides, we have assisted a wide range of companies in an array of domestic and international transactions. We, thus, offer the full remit of corporate expertise. We advise on corporate finance, private equity, IPOs, joint ventures, and corporate governance. We carry out due diligence, represent issuers, selling shareholders, debt issuance programs, mergers, and acquisitions in both domestic and cross-border contexts. We use our diverse experience to blend insightful legal advice with tactical and strategic commercial input for the benefit of our clients. We also provide to our client’s specialist legal advice and tactical input to help them navigate regulatory hurdles including in the formation of companies, issuance of investment and business licenses, and anything else that comes up in the context of investing in Ethiopia.
