Employment and Labour Law
We advise across the full spectrum of employment issues including but not limited to advisory, transactional and court representation.
Given the premium placed on good corporate citizenship and the legal and financial risks arising from labor non-compliance issues, companies need to be able to monitor and maintain control over their employment systems and operate in compliance with the law.
Our team operates a team-based approach with continuity among the lawyers working on clients’ matters to ensure that institutional knowledge about our clients and their industries is captured and properly leveraged overtime.
Our employment team has experienced in developing bespoke solutions to address the types of legal issues faced by companies doing business in Ethiopia. Having worked in different labor related matters for awhile, our team is known for its innovative and result oriented approach to our clients.
The employment regulatory framework is rapidly changing and comes with an ever-increasing complexity, which makes it more difficult for companies to manage compliance with the current applicable laws.
