What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply litigation, employment and compliance expertise, contribute to high-value transactions, mentor junior lawyers, and continue impactful pro bono and community legal services.

I am an attorney and legal consultant with over five years of professional experience across private practice and academia, focused on employment law, immigration, and legal compliance. I have a proven record drafting contracts, conducting M&A due diligence, and representing clients in courts and arbitration.

In practice I have advised multinational and local clients, led high-value transaction reviews, and designed employment policies that reduced legal risk. I have a consistently strong case record and have overseen due diligence and transactions totaling millions of dollars.

I am also an experienced lecturer who developed curricula and led community legal services; I am committed to pro bono work and mentoring, and I bring fluent communication in English, Amharic, and Afan Oromo to client and community engagements.
