getting a lawyer or attorney is realy realy difficult
1. mostly they just past and coppy but want to charge you lots of money
2. having a lawyer or attorney does not give you securety
3. indevidual contracts a very difficult in ET
a. the lawyers dont know
b. as more out of a box as higher the risk that the contract will be rejected by the local notary office
c. most funz and strange / if a paragraph in a contract is not aplaiable due to any law, the total contract is usless according to ET law
d. you will face the problem that in the legal world of Ethiopia the "thinking" is a bit different, for excample, every thing which is not specifical regulated by a law is for most "civil service staff" just elegal
e. most people fear to signe something which out of the box / mostly you will face this a official offices
best is if you visit the big notary offices in Addis, for excample near Mexico, just go and ask for help, they are friendly.
In most notary office you find just next door some locals selling contracts.
In the Federal Investment Office they also can and want to help you, they even give mostly the warning " do not use local lawers" just ask us.
My experience / do it your self and ask the local offices for help first! Works fine.
