Financial and corporate

Aman & Partners is a law firm in Ethiopia which was founded in 2003 and is led by managing partner Aman Assefa. The firm is based in Addis Ababa and is an alliance member of Bowmans. The firm has specializations in financial and corporate matters. It represents companies and shareholders in banking and M&A related transactions.

Highlights

The firm is providing legal services (separately) to the three developers who have been awarded project sites in relation to the Distributed Renewable Energy-Agriculture Modalities (DREAM) project that is being implemented in Ethiopia.

The firm assisted Sand Tech Holding in a multiple array of matters including setting up and licensing of an Ethiopian subsidiary, regulatory matters specifically with respect to a reward-scheme for enrolled pupils which we flagged would face inevitable regulated Lottery administration related concerns and taxation compliance related issues.

Key clients

Canal Plus, Erricson, Gebeya, Nestle, and Visa.
