Welcome to Tadesse Kiros Law Office. The business environment in Ethiopia is undergoing rapid change. So is the law. Hence, the need for lawyers who harness the required expertise and experience to offer innovative solutions to the various challenges faced by clients and help them navigate through the rapidly changing business and legal environment.

 

Established in 1996 by Tadesse Kiros, former vice-president of the Supreme Court of Ethiopia, our office provides the highest quality legal service to clients in a wide variety of practice areas (see Practice Areas). Our office has worked as local counsel for the world’s leading corporations and financial institutions often in partnership with leading global law firms. In its dealings with clients, our office maintains the highest professional ethics and confidentiality and serves as their trusted advisor. A thorough study and analysis of issues and cases with the view to arriving at the best possible solutions is the hallmark of our office. Tadesse Kiros Law Office is not a registered law firm. There are no registered law firms in Ethiopia at present. The law that provides for law firms although enacted some ten years ago has not been implemented yet. Our Office, thus, works as a de facto law firm and is composed of lawyers who are individually licensed.
