Ethiopia is opening its legal market as the country undertakes sweeping economic liberalization, including the partial privatization of state enterprises and the opening of its telecoms and banking sectors to foreign investment. Addis Ababa, as the seat of the African Union, also hosts international organizations that employ legal professionals focused on pan-African governance and trade.

To become a lawyer (advocate) in Ethiopia, you first earn an LLB law degree, and you must pass the national Law School Exit Examination in order to graduate. You then apply for an advocacy licence: under the Federal Advocacy Service Licensing and Administration Proclamation No. 1249/2021, this requires meeting education and minimum-experience criteria and passing a qualification examination, with federal licences issued in tiers (for example, federal first-instance courts versus all federal courts). Licensing varies by jurisdiction, as the federal government and each regional state issue their own practice licences for their respective courts. At the federal level the statutory professional body is the Ethiopian Federal Advocates Association (EFAA), of which federal advocates must be members.
