Ethiopia’s Capital Market landscape is evolving rapidly with the establishment of the Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX) and the regulatory framework under the Capital Market Proclamation No. 1248/2021. At DABLO Law Firm, we stand at the forefront of this transformation, offering strategic, future-ready legal solutions for businesses, investors, and financial institutions.

Our Capital Market Practice is designed to help clients unlock opportunities in securities trading, public offerings, and investment advisory services, while ensuring full compliance with directives issued by the Ethiopian Capital Market Authority (ECMA).

We provide independent legal opinions for issuers and underwriters, ensuring full compliance with the Ethiopian Capital Market Authority (ECMA) requirements and the Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX) listing rules. Our team offers regulatory licensing and market entry advisory, guiding brokers, dealers, investment advisers, and custodians through the licensing process under Ethiopian law.

In addition, we deliver end-to-end support for public offerings and listings, including initial public offerings (IPOs), rights issues, and bond listings, with expertise in drafting and vetting disclosure documents. To strengthen governance, we also provide corporate governance and compliance advisory, helping clients establish robust governance frameworks, meet disclosure obligations, and manage risks effectively for listed entities.

At DABLO, we don’t just follow the market—we help shape it.
