Junior Attorney
The Junior Attorney position is an excellent opportunity for legal professionals with a year of relevant experience, ideally in the banking industry. This role focuses on assisting senior attorneys in foreclosure and litigation proceedings, handling loan-related cases, and representing the Bank in various legal forums. The Junior Attorney will actively support the Bank’s legal unit by providing timely assistance, maintaining critical records, and adhering to internal control systems and risk management protocols.
Candidates for this role should possess an LLB in Law or a related field, with the ability to assist in preparing legal pleadings, reviewing court judgments, and ensuring the Bank’s representation in courts or tribunals. The position also requires the individual to work collaboratively within a team, uphold professional ethics, and align with the Bank’s internal and external compliance standards.
The position is open for the following locations: Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar, Dessie, and Gondar. Successful applicants will be employed on a full-time basis, and female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
Senior Attorney
The Senior Attorney role is tailored for seasoned legal professionals with a minimum of five years of experience, including at least two years in an officer position within the banking sector. This position involves handling complex legal matters, including loan litigation, foreclosures, and criminal cases. As a Senior Attorney, you will also provide mentorship to junior staff, actively participate in policy development, and ensure timely execution of court and tribunal orders.
Key responsibilities include representing the Bank in legal proceedings, following up on loan defaults, preparing legal notices, and contributing to the effective resolution of disputes. Candidates should have an LLB in Law or a related field and demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, professional ethics, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities effectively.
This position offers an opportunity to shape the Bank’s legal framework while collaborating with a team committed to excellence.
