Aviation

Because of liberal approach brought by the investment proclamation No. 1180/2020, foreign investors are allowed to carry out domestic air transportation jointly with domestic investors and international air transportation jointly with government of Ethiopia. Incorporation of entities participating in aviation sector, developing joint venture agreement, and advising on regulatory framework of the country and international agreements applicable in the sector concluded by the country are primary tasks expected from lawyers.
Individuals of foreign nationality can be employed as air transportation personnel and they need work permit from immigration agencies and professional operation license from civil aviation authority.  We have lawyers with abundant knowledge and experience in areas of public international law, international trade law, and investment. Our lawyers assisted incorporation of business entities taking part in: transportation, industrial machinery lease financing, and private equity firms. Furthermore, our lawyers assisted foreign nationals in securing work permits in different sectors.
Working closely with experts in aviation engineering and accident reconstruction, we assist the aircraft accident investigation to determine its cause and liability of the accident. Negotiating on aircraft accident and representing clients in court of law or arbitral tribunals for any case that emerge in the sector is another role our lawyers work.
