About This Role
This is an entry- to early-career legal role rooted in the microfinance sector, based in Nekemte. You will be the bridge between legal theory and daily operational reality—drafting contracts, tracking court cases, and managing customer disputes for a credit institution. It suits a law graduate who wants hands-on experience in compliance and litigation support outside Addis Ababa, and who is comfortable working in a fast-paced, client-facing environment.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The request for 1–2 years of experience signals that the employer values practical exposure over academic excellence alone. They are looking for someone who already understands court procedures and can draft documents with minimal supervision. The emphasis on Ethiopian laws and company policies suggests that familiarity with financial regulations or micro-credit frameworks will give you an edge, even if not explicitly listed.
How to Approach This Application
Your cover letter should highlight specific examples of legal drafting or court follow-up work—even from internships or volunteer roles. Since the company operates in micro-credit, mention any knowledge of lending regulations or consumer protection laws. Tailor your CV to show local ties to Nekemte or Oromia, as this signals stability and cultural fit. Address your application directly to hr.admin@digafcredit.com with a clear subject line.
Who This Role Suits
This role is ideal for a recent law graduate with some practical exposure who wants to build a career in corporate or financial law outside the capital. Competition will be moderate, but local candidates or those with microfinance familiarity will have a clear advantage.

Assist in legal documentation, contract drafting, and review
Support litigation processes and court follow-ups
Ensure compliance with applicable laws and company policies
Handle customer complaints and legal correspondences
Requirements:
- LLB Degree in Law
- 1–2 years of relevant work experience
- Strong knowledge of Ethiopian laws and court procedures
- Good communication and drafting skills
