About the Firm
Dadimos & Partners is a full-service law firm based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Co-founded by Dr Dadimos Haile, a former Federal High Court Judge, the firm combines deep local expertise with a strong international outlook. Its lawyers bring decades of experience from both public and private sectors, and the firm is committed to contributing to the development of Ethiopia’s legal system through policy engagement and capacity-building initiatives.
The firm’s expertise directly influenced significant policy change; its lawyers submitted a reform proposal and successfully advocated against double taxation of partnership income during consultations for the amended income tax proclamation. The effort led to a favourable change in the final legislation in the form of the introduction of the pass-through system, where partnerships are no longer subject to corporate income tax or dividends.
Dadimos & Partners’ lawyers have also assisted the Ethiopian Capital Markets Authority in drafting crucial directives, guidelines, and manuals for licensing and supervision of Capital Service Providers, in collaboration with PwC Nigeria & NGX. The firm continues to advise on draft directives and develop content for the forthcoming Ethiopian Stock Exchange.
